Re: EB164 SRM Problems



I know this SRM discussion has taken place before and crops up with
regular intervals. I have a similar problem with a graphic card.

I would like to restate that I am willing to donate the card
(3DLabs Oxygen GVX1) to anyone at Compaq (now HP) who will promise
to at least take a shot at getting it to work with the SRM for the
EB164.
