|In misc.forsale.computers.workstation there's a fellow who apparently
|has a largish pile of DEC Alpha AXP motherboards with 166 MHz CPUs
|for sale.  These have both PCI and ISA slots, and the fellow says
|that they also have both an IDE and a SCSI controller on-board.
|Does anyone know a) which CPU these use (21064, 21066, or 21068),
|b) whether or not they can have SRM firmware, and c) whether or
|not NetBSD supports these particular motherboards?

These are likely AXPpci33 motherboards.  a) the AXPpci33 takes the 21066
b) the AXPpci33 does take SRM firmware.  c) NetBSD does support the AXPpci33.

I belive that some versions of the AXPpci33 can take 233Mhz 21066A's as
well.
