I assume that the work for the PMAGB-BA board on pmax will transfer over to
alpha?  I currently use a PMAGB-BA in my 5000/200 -- it would be really
neat to use it in AXP 3000/400.  :)

I think I've said this before, but if any developers are interested, I
have two PMAGB-BA boards I can lend out.  (Anybody who can swing by
Portland, Oregon will get a nice 17" VR16-HA trinitron to go along with
their new video card.)
