You're lucky; gatekeeper seems to have a full mirror of
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD underneath /pub/BSD/NetBSD. The snapshot
would be under NetBSD/arch/alpha. I'll have a bootable disk which
will be a good start for an install available later today; keep an
eye on port-alpha.

Oh, well in that case you want 50 extra gig, and send 25 of them
to me. :-)

Right. I think I've got some Jensen docs kicking around; I'll try
to find them and put them up there as well. Again, keep an eye on
port-alpha for the notice about this.

The ISBN is 1-55558-145-5, and below that barcode there's this
number: EY-T132E-DP. I hope that's your part number.
