   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> with is good as a dec_alpha ready from 29 yaers ago :)   
      
   I wouldn't know.  29 years ago there was only sparc(s) as far as I had access   
   to.  The mainframe was a dec but 32-bit VAX/VMS on there with a bunch of 9   
   track tape drives.  I heard it took roughly 24 hours to boot the damn thing   
   up.  I never actually witnessed a bootup but the source of that information   
   was reliable so I went along with it.   
      
   I got offered a 64-bit alpha - free but I had to pay the shipping - after they   
   got sold to compaq.  If I am not mistaken Tru64 was the OS of choice at that   
   time.  I think x86_64 is the only architecture that can run 32-bit libs/apps.   
      
    BP> only amiga needs it   
      
   Highly unlikely to ever see the light of day here.  I don't do emulators.    
   What for?
