    I have a new PC164LX with 533MHz 21164 CPU that I cant get to boot. I
    tried a Matrox Millennium (not sure what version) card, a Voodoo3,
    both com ports at 9600 8n1, and it doesnt show anything up. I short
    the power jumper, the CPU fan spins and ... nothing. I have 2x128MB
    sticks installed and tried each stick individually at bank 0.

    I want to build it as a multi-OS system. So:

    (1) Which video card will work under Windows NT/OpenVMS/Tru64 UNIX?
    (2) Will an IDE disk work under all those above?
    (3) what can I use the 64-bit PCI slots for beside gigabit ethernet?
    (4) How can I use the strange RJ-11 type console port? Is it serial
    9600?
    (5) Any possible CPU upgrades beside the 600MHz? Can I use a 21264?
    (6) Of Linux and the 3 BSDs, which one is the most mature and
    well-supported OS? I'm tempted to believe its Linux but FreeBSD has
    been supporting Alpha for a while...
