My normal suggestion applies: If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it. Terry: you obviously have absolutely no clue about what Alpha platforms NetBSD supports or plans to support. Given that, could you please refrain from "informing" people with your "knowledge" about it? NetBSD/Alpha currently runs on all of the turbochannel machines. the EISA and PCI boxes are the next targets, and, from what i can tell, they shouldn't be _that_ much work. If anybody would like info on NetBSD/Alpha, I'm the person to ask; I'm the person who wrote most of the code, and the person who's currently maintaining and developing the code. later, chris
