My AlphaStation 200 has an ISP1020 add-in board, and when I first =
installed 10.1 on the machine, it was perfectly fine:

https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=3Dview&id=3D8176

And that kernel was built in Dec 2024.

I don=E2=80=99t have any devices connected to the ISP, but there were no =
errors during the device probe.  I don=E2=80=99t have any FW devices at =
the moment (when I got this AlphaStation, it was actually a pair running =
VMS with external shared SCSI storage in an HA configuration, but the =
external drives were toast).  I=E2=80=99ll have to snag one of the new =
BlueSCSI Ultras.
