Permedia 2 (Elsa Gloria Synergy) works with both Tru64 and OpenVMS. Another one that works with both (older but maybe easier to find) is S3 trio64V or S3 trio64V+ (these can be found with 2mb vram). The latter one works with Linux as well, regarding the former one I can't remember did I ever tried it. Permedia 3 should also work (with VMS)... if you can find one for PCI... <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 5:57 PM, Owen Mann <<a href="mailto:owen-javanet@rcn.com">owen-javanet@rcn.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've seen (on PC's, just cause I've seen more of them) cases where a PCI card the system disagrees with corrupts/resets the CMOS.

Not a power cycle. I've rebooted via SRM and had settings vanish. I was going to see if it'd fire tonight, but I was baling hay. I've been quite busy the last two days.

I do have some Fire GL 3000 Pros with the expansion decks, but I had really bad luck getting 'em working in X under Debian. Booted fine, however. I had Debian on my AXPPCI33 and my EB164. Didn't like it.

I tried about six different possibilities for getting it into single user mode, and then CTRL-C stopped working to get me into SRM. So now I don't know how I'm going to get access to the OS... -fl s doesn't seem to do it, neither did -fl single, -fl 1, -fl S, -fl init=1, or -fl init=single.
