yup.  BTW, that name breaks down into:

	AlphaStation 200 4/166
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^  ^^^
		|	 |  \--- cpu speed
		|	 \------ cpu type.  4 == "EV4" or "EV45", i.e.
		|		 21064 or 21064A
		\--------------- system type.

the latest disk image should work on it w/o modification, though after
you're running i suggest getting a new kernel binary (or new sources,
though if you're compiling i still suggest starting with a new kernel
binary).

Both of my development systems are AlphaStation 200 4/233's, so...
8-)

uh, well, there are some directions in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha
which should probably be good enough.

the biggest problem you'll probably face is getting the machine to use
the SRM console software (rather than the ARC console used for NT).
However, directions to do that should be in your owner's manual.  (If
no, ask me and i'll dig them up...)
