heviarti: A Mylex DAC960? If it's a non-Ultra (a DAC960PD, not -PDU), it will boot in a PC164 in SRM5.5-1 (that's on my list of updates for your Howto I was going to send once I finished). Are you talking about the 2GB vs. 8GB thing, or actual drive sizes?
I just got a bunch of half-can 500MHz (50MHz really) PC164 crystals on eBay. I was going to send you a couple anyway....

alphamike: The PC164 (non-LX/SX) only goes to 5.5-1.

Does anybody need it, or have something that might be useful to me to trade for it?   If I need a RAID controller I have some kind of gigantic Compaq thing that has at least two channels.  I also have an adaptec 3940 in my PC164. (three channels of 50 pin in one slot.) As soon as I can get that machine into a real rackmount case, I need to see about a Magma chassis. Has anyone tried one of these on an Alpha?
