Anybody know what the heck an AlphaServer1200 is? Is it a scaled down
rawhide? I ask because a NECX is selling something called the 'Digital
Server 5300' with a 400Mhz 21164 for $800USD. 

According to some of the old DEC info, the 5300 was formerly known as
the 'AlphaServer 1200 for Windows NT.'  And according to some linux
documentation I've seen, a 1200 is the 'TINCUP' variation of the
rawhide family. (http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/alpha/rh52-hardware-alpha-3.html)

Anybody know if 

a) SRM will run on a 5300
b) NetBSD will run on a 5300 (or a 1200) as if it were a normal rawhide?
c) the 5300, like the AS1200, can accept a second CPU?

Thanks,

Drew
