God how I wish so, I have the hardware, but not the knowledge. I have a
working Dual 667Mhz UP2000 (ev67), a Dual 533Mhz AS1200 (ev6), a
Personal Workstation 500au (ev5, iirc), a Single 533 SX164 (pca56) and
even a functional 233 Multia (ev4). Back when Red Hat had an Alpha
distribution, I used to support it. But I am not a developer. If you
ever do get an Alpha project going, I can test it on a bunch of
hardware. Right now I only run the UP2000 on a day-to-day basis.
I have not been able to build a working Alpha kernel in a long time. I
Hmm
.18 .19 .20 .21
all worked stable, and even 2.6.0-test5 works on it !!
If anyone have time to play and want latest rawhide packages for alpha machines
which fit nicely with rpm -Uvh * over 7.2/7.1 i have an own tree builded in my free time
which works
well here on my poor Miata:
ftp://ftp.rdsor.ro/pub/Linux/Distributions/AlphaLinux/rawhide/
-not all package are there because havnt time only base gcc/glibc/xfree and mplayer goodie
of course :)
but planning to do some automated scripts.

however won't have time to look at this again until 2004.
I'll be in
Manila, Philippines from next Saturday until Dec.15, and won't really be
home until after the holidays.
