That's frightening.   They stopped pushing it as a viable platform in

was gone by 1995.

Either way, though, NT on Alpha was very much a "first generation
Alphas" thing, and the ES family is a "last generation Alphas" thing.
I'd be shocked if it even came close to booting on a 21264-class
processor.   ...which means I'm utterly shocked to hear of any DS20
support at all.

Well I learned something today. ;)

You know DEC, they loved supporting legacy products almost into oblivion.

I mean, when did they stop officially supporting PDP themselves?
