No ISA devices are currently officially supported by NetBSD/Alpha.
I have a really cheesy port of a driver for Digital's ISA DE205
ethernet card which does work, though it's strictly programmed IO so the
performance is not stellar.  The port I did is not of good enough quality
to include in NetBSD/Alpha (hence I've not submitted it) but if you want
it and if my employer doesn't mind (unlikely they would, but I would have
to get them to do the right paperwork which might be a pain) then you can
have it.  As for the second part of your post, huh?  AFAIK, there has only
ever been one version of the AXPpci33 motherboard and it has a PS/2 style
keyboard and a PS/2 style bus mouse connector.  The X server which currently
exists does support the bus mouse, and probably could be made to support a
serial mouse with a little work, but I'm pretty sure that it currently
expects the bus mouse.  It's a pretty crappy X server, you won't want to
use it for anything heavy unless you have no better choice (it's slow and
the keyboard doesn't work quite right)
