I just fixed my 3max, replacing the clock module. For $20 (Aus,
about UD$10) I bought an old Pentium mobo, with a P166 and 32MB,
then removed the clock chip (1995-7 era, Odin equiv.) and
discarded the rest. I remember when such a machine was
considered really fast (and I do have a very similar one
running my firewall now).

1) I want to set the prom to auto boot. I thought that
	setenv boot "5/rz0/wscons -a"
should do it, but it does not seem to be so.

2) Also, I enabled ttyD3 and connected a vt100 (it needed a
null-modem cable). The terminal complains that DCD is not
asserted. How do I tell the machine to assert it?

3) The monitor, a Digital GDM-1960, has a nice image in X but it
leaves almost an inch unused on the sides and some on the
top/bottom. Is there a way to adjust the monitor (or the xserver)
to better use the space (maybe something like a modeline that
xfree uses on i386)?

4) what is the recommended browser for this machine - I only have
32MB RAM?
