The UP1000 is an ATX mainboard using a 21264a CPU in a Slot B module. It is normally housed in an ATX enclosure. It is very PC-like in that it has an AMD-751 ('Irongate') core logic chipset and an AGP slot. XFree86 works well with the supplied Permedia-2 based AGP graphics card. I'm happy to report that it feels quite fast, the fastest machine I've sat in front of, as a matter of fact. More info on these systems can be found at: http://www.alpha-processor.com/products/up1000-board.shtml You'll need to flash the SRM console before installing FreeBSD. The SRM console can be downloaded from API at: http://www.alpha-processor.com/products/downloads/customer_support/UP1000/ Many thanks to Eric Rowe & Alpha Processor Inc. for supplying the UP1000 machine used to do the port & answering my questions.
