I don't have any documentation, but I can look up those connectors that *are*
connected on my board. I am still looking for a description of the SIL pins on
the front side of the board and the DIL header where the NMI button and LEDs
are attached.

Right. Get aboot-0.2 from ftp.azstarnet.com, it includes docs and the needed
binaries to bootstrap Linux on a Jensen. The Linux/Alpha FAQ might be of help,
too :-)

Now if someone tells me how to get rid of the SRM after booting the kernel, I
could make those extra 2-3MB of RAM available which the SRM currently hogs ...
