I'm one of the several. I actually have the new system running on 3/50s and 3/60s. At some stage I will tidy this up and make it available to anyone who cares (and has a valid license). I also have 80% of a port of Plan 9 to the DEC Alpha architecture. Currently only axp 400s and 500s. I plan to make this available when I reach 85% :-) I'm hoping that someone out there who has a spare alpha will help to finish it off. Since both of these ports are derived from Plan 9, I am only allowed to give them to other licencees. This will mean checking with AT&T that you actually have a licence. Please note that I am not quite ready to distribute the alpha port -- preparing the distribution will take time, which I am short of at the moment. I am telling you all this to try to avoid duplication of effort. I'll announce to the list when it's ready -- hopefully within a month.
