AlphaStation 500 and 600 Systems

CPU-specific support for AlphaStation 500 and 600 systems was written by Chris Demetriou.

Supported Hardware

The AlphaStation 500 and 600 systems are Digital's high-end PCI-based workstations. They include the following hardware:

Additionally, the AlphaStation 500 includes: and the AlphaStation 600 includes:

NetBSD/alpha supports all of the standard system hardware listed above, except:

Note that not all of the drivers have been thoroughly tested.

Since the Qlogic ISP-1020 SCSI adapters are not supported, it is assumed that AlphaStation 500 and 600 systems will be used diskless, or that NCR/Symbios 53c810 PCI SCSI boards will be purchased and used. (The AlphaStation 600 used for development contained an NCR 53c810 board.)
