Well, the machine I've got is Alphastation 255/233 with latest SRM
available for it.
21064A 233MHz and 128-bit 32MB ram should be enough to try porting
Plan9 to it? :-)

While I don't have very good coding skills, I'll try to adapt existing
code to make it boot, then rewrite loader to allow direct booting from
disk drive (pka0: 53c810 scsi). I'll try to bring it's 21041 and my
21040 and 21140 network cards to work too.

Unfortunately I can't give any estimates for that work (I don't have
normal internet access and I need to prepare a working place for my pc
- I'm in the middle of painting/laying floor my room...)

Any additional info about plan9 on alpha would be appreciated.
