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.
