Yes, that is an EV56; here on my EV5:
NetBSD 1.6ZE (JANE) #2: Mon Oct 27 12:22:55 EST 2003
        dive@jane.endersgame.net:/sys/arch/alpha/compile/JANE
Digital AlphaStation 600 5/266, 266MHz, s/n LOLWTF
8192 byte page size, 1 processor.
total memory = 128 MB
(2256 KB reserved for PROM, 125 MB used by NetBSD)
avail memory = 114 MB
using 817 buffers containing 6536 KB of memory
mainbus0 (root)
cpu0 at mainbus0: ID 0 (primary), 21164-0

Nothing about 'Architecture extensions' at all. But I've never had any
problems with any cards I've used in it, although that isn't a big number
(ahc, ADMtek AN985 tlp-clone, and an ISA modem)
(yes, the serial number actually is LOLWTF, I would have set it to something
more creative but the NetBSD kernel only prints ten bytes of it even though
SRM will happily store more than that ;)
