I have a system based on the EB164 (21164 processor).  Does NetBSD run
on these systems?

The board is similar to the AlphaStation 600.  The port description
for the 600 on the web page says the PS/2 mouse and floppy disk
controller are not supported.  Is this still true?  If not, is it easy
to fix?  Is the DEC 21140 ethernet chip supported?

What is the overall reliability of the Alpha port?  Is the statement
on the web page that the kernel doesn't work if optimized still true?
