It worked fine for me on two 2000 systems. I did have to bind it to a single cpu on a dual-processor machine, or it'd lock up in the first minute or so.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty damn sure there isn't an x11 driver for that card.
Also, I'm not sure about the PC164 board, but some other PCI Alpha systems are very particular about the display boards you can use in them. The only board I can guarantee will work, and has an x11 driver, is a #9 GXE64Pro, which were sold new with Alphas at one point in the mid-nineties. You should be able to check around and find some other boards that will work, as the #9 board is probably very difficult to find, and, of course, has no 3D acceleration.
The video board you have is an Evans & Sutherland (previously Accelgraphics) with a Mitsubishi 3DPro chipset. A similar board was sold by Diamond Multimedia (FireGL 4000). The cards are often available on ebay in the $15 to $50 range.
HP Visualize fx5+ and fx10+ cards made for pa-risc machines are 64-bit 66MHz PCI. No guarantees they'll work in a PC though... I can only pass along that somewhere on a HP message board, there's a message from someone who put one in a visualize workstation along with a AGP version of the same card, and made it work (dirt slow, as I recall) in linux.
Try windowmaker, the damn thing hangs X every once in awhile (read 4 times in 9 months) but I ssh back in, kill X and restart.
I had this problem about once every 2 or 3 days. it was window maker hanging because it couldn't write to stderr to complain about some app doing something funny. It would only do this if it was started from.xinitrc, as, obviously, if it was started from an interactive shell, it would have a stderr to write to.
I also only saw this problem when using a csh-derivative as my login shell.
For what it's worth, sending SIGUSR1 to window maker will make it restart, so you don't have to kill X completely. This is sort of hidden in the documentation.
I hear PC user hardware horror stories all the time. Fried hard drive. Dead RAM. Motherboard toasted before its time had come. I've heard at least seven individual hardware failure stories from my co-workers in the last year alone. I rarely hear these kinds of dead hardware stories from Mac users. Why do you suppose that would be?
More than likely because of cheesy power supplies. Have you seen what PC manufactureres try to pass off as a power supply?
The Cygwin 'ln' utility will create hard links on a NTFS filesystem. I have some on one of my filesystems, and they even work outside the Cygwin environment.
HP-UX does, however, have a journaling filesystem available in the base product. Which is good, since my experiences with hfs (HP-UX's base filesystem, unrelated to the MacOS filesystem) have shown it to be hopelessly unrobust in a crash situation.
Even if the 68000 that the NeXT was using at the time was cutting edge it was still not enough to run
both client and server to run an X11.. graphics were still high load and anything that made it worse was
a bad thing...
Actually, the 68030 and 68040 CPUs that NeXT were using for their machines were plenty powerful for running X11. Before HP started using their own PA-RISC CPUs, they used m68k, and a `040 was amazingly fast at running X. I should know, I own a number of HP 9000 series 300 and 400 machines, and a 33MHz 68040 with 24MB RAM, running HP-UX 9.0 is plenty fast. (It's faster than a PA7100LC running HP-UX 10.20 in 32MB RAM, if that says anything.)
Wow, finally good music on mp3.com. I go to the Sutur page, listen to an mp3, go look at where they're from, and I'll be damned if they're not from Indy. I *knew* there was good music coming out of Indiana.;)
Non-clock-doubled 486 CPUs (25 MHz and 33 MHz parts) will run fine without a fan or a heat sink. Clock-doubled 486 (DX/2) CPUs will run fine with just a heat sink if your case has proper airflow. 5V DX/4 CPUs probably will need a fan. I've run them with just a heat sink, but YMMV. Cyrix CPUs will definitely need one. AMD's 5x86 CPUs run cool enough with just a heat sink as long as, again, you have a case with decent airflow.
Anything faster than a 66 MHz DX/2 is most likely overkill for a firewall/NAT box anyway.
Actually, you have it backward. NTFS (pre-v5) has built-in hardlink support, but nothing like symlinks. Also, no utility to create said hardlinks (as far as I've been able to tell, and I've been using NT since 3.5). Cygnus' cygwin environment has a working ln that creates hardlinks, though.
Actually, I have a copy of The Adventure Shell, dating from 1984. it's basically a shell wrapper that emulates a text adventure. Might need some work to make it work right on a modern system, I don't know. If someone wanted to fix it up some, it'd be fairly easy, though probably just as easy to reimplement.
Anyway, here's some sample output:
Welcome to the Adventure shell! Do you need instructions?no You are in your own home. The room looks empty. There are exits labeled: advsh as well as a passage overhead. -> look The room contains: .inputrc.less.lessrc.logout There are exits plainly labelled. advsh.knapsack.limbo ... and a passage overhead. ->

Fluoxetine (brand name Prozac) is not an antipsychotic. It is a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is commonly prescribed for three disorders: Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, and Bulimia Nervosa.
The possibility of a suicide attempt is inherent in depression and may persist until significant remission occurs. Therefore, high risk patients should be closely supervised throughout therapy and consideration should be given to the possible need for hospitalization. In order to minimize the opportunity for overdosage, prescriptions for fluoxetine should be written for the smallest quantity of drug consistent with good patient management. . . .
Suicidal thoughts and acts are far more common among depressed patients than in the general population. It is estimated that suicide is 22 to 36 times more prevalent in depressed persons than in the general population. A comprehensive meta-analysis of pooled data from 17 double blind clinical trials in patients with major depressive disorder compared fluoxetine (n=1765) with a tricyclic antidepressant (n=731) or placebo (n=569), or both. The pooled incidence of emergence of substantial suicidal ideation was 1.2% for fluoxetine, 2.6% for placebo, and 3.6% for tricyclic antidepressants.
I hate to point this out, because everyone hates these shortcuts, but the old CUA guidelines specify these keyboard shortcuts, which work in almost every application under windows or on X11.
Reading the caption below the image on the front page of the Microsoft history, you see that the three rackmount servers in the photo served ftp, gopher, and web.

You'd think Microsoft would still have one of those original servers sitting in a forgotten corner somewhere with the legacy gopher content still in place.:P

Assuming you have another [DOS/Win9x/NT] machine at your disposal, you can create new bootdisk with \i386\setup /OX.
/? sometime; there're quite a few helpful options.
Try \i386\setup
