Just to clarify on the AlphaPC front: Plan 9 3rd edition runs on the
AlphaPC 164.  Other Alpha machines will require some kernel work
to get running.  And AXP is a generic term for the Alpha architecture
itself (I think jmk found some explanation of the initials somewhere).

I had 2nd edition running on a Flamingo a long time ago, but I'm
sure nobody cares.
