Sanity check -- mine, that is.

Currently available picture on eBay shows something called a VAX
4000/600 CPU board.  It has in the upper left a large square heatsink
with two bolts.  My instince says "Alpha" because I have never seen an
Alpha processor without this type of heatsink.  On the other hand,
maybe I haven't seen the right kind of newer VAX processors.
