This is an Alpha Personal Workstation, 500a.
I'm not sure what the motherboard model number
is. It is called a Miata, this version is probably
the MX5, as opposed to the later MiataGL, which
I think has USB ports and various bug fixes.
It came with a Matrox Millenium II, which I
replaced with an S3 card I thought would be
more compatible with the Plan 9 alpha kernel.
Miata MX5
CPU: Alpha 21164 EV5 Revision 7.2
QLOGIC 1040 ultra-wide scsi
S3 Virge/DX
Toshiba CD-ROM
