I believe the TGA2 in the AlphaStation 255/233 is a ZLXp-E1 (i.e not
E2). It only has 2Mb ram in anyevent. Near the VGA out, the card has
the letters `PGXBB-AA' which I presume is the DEC part number?.
Surely the alpha xserver works with at least one graphics card. Is there a
list about?
Cheers,
Julian.
