I have played with dec alphas. There is an organization, DECUS (Dec Users) look for it on the net. They will no doubt be able to help you.

I inherited 2 EB164 DEC 21164 full tower units. one I was able to update the firmware on, the other appears brain dead. The brain dead unit was working at one time, but now, I get no console output and no other indication that its even useful. the memory checks out (checked it on the other machine) and, as far as I can tell, so does the cpu. is there any way to reset this board so that I can either get a console (on serial port 1) or a display (ARC windows NT mode)? HELP!
