I know only about one Alpha and one PC, one more PC and maybe one more
Alpha(don't know which) on Sunday. Most equipment is tied up by DECUS and
there is nothing left ...

Anyway, there is not such a big difference between 250 and 255(different
box, but not much else) and the TGA is definitively supported and the
driver is supposed to be in the RedHat distribution. We have
even replaced the original improved TGA 2 with an older TGA.

The ATI Mach64 will not work too good(I mean bad performance) with the
255/300Mhz, the EV5 has no byte handling instructions. Not to mention the
fact that even the older TGA has 20MB VRAM compared to ...

Do not expect too much support on Sunday, because the peoples which may
really know in UK/USA do not work on that day.
