   I ran an MP Alpha at least two years ago, on a 4100 if memory serves. 
  It runs MP on the 4100 now, but is unstable, and has been in that 
state for at least a year.

   I successfully installed it on a 2100 with multiple processors about 
two years ago, but it ran in short spurts between crashes.
