I've committed support for the Alpha Processor Inc UP1000.
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:

You'll need to flash the SRM console before installing FreeBSD. The
SRM console can be downloaded from API at:

Many thanks to Eric Rowe & Alpha Processor Inc. for supplying the
UP1000 machine used to do the port & answering my questions.
Cheers,
Drew
