Is that true?  But, AFAIK, all the Alpha machines I've found have PCI in
them also.  I don't know enough to be really sure, but I'm skeptical of
that claim.  It might be that the pci stuff is currently i386 specific
only because out alpha port hasn't gone far enough.

I am not going to comment on the rest (I don't know enough about it).

 which should imply that it be located in
