Alpha woes

[Brian Conway]

Last night my Multia (Alpha series) lost its onboard video card.  I'm
pretty sure it wasn't heat related, actually. Everything else works and
the machine will boot fine, but the TGA card is dead.  I attempted to plug
a Cirrus card into the single PCI slot, and the machine booted, but when
it got to jumping to the kernel after milo, the video stopped advancing
(much like when I forget to compile the kernel for the TGA framebuffer).
I remotely recompiled the kernel without the TGA support, yet the same
symptoms occur.  Has anyone tried getting another video card of any type
to work in one of these boxes?  I'd consider buying a new motherboard if I
could even find one that I could put the 233 mhz chip into.  Help?
