I've got a bad 24 bit color graphics board out of an Alpha 3000/300X.
It's called a PXG+. The Digital part numbers are PMAGB-EB (field install)
and PMAGB-EA (factory install). The two parts are, as far as I know,
itdentical. I know it's bad because I swapped an identical board which
worked. This is the same board used in the DECstation 5000's and
other Turbochannel-equipped computers.

Digital wants $950 to repair the board. Does anyone have a surplus board
they'd like to sell cheap or donate to us? Do you know of any reliable
company that could repair the board?
