Are both the PS/2 and AT keyboard connectors supported?

Indeed they are. I have seen them go for $700 with 2MB of L2 cache,
and a 275MHz 20164A (new). However, I don't belive they are supported,
and it seems to be very difficult to obtain the SRM console for this
particular board (unless one can use the same firmware from other
APECS-based machines like the AlphaStation 255).
If you want to blow $2000 on Digital UNIX, you can get the "official"
SRM console on the Firmware CD-ROM :-)
