As part of my work on the EISA bus code I intend to look at the Alpha stuff in more detail at some point in the future. As I don't have an Alpha with EISA slots I can't say when in the future that will be. NetBSD does have support and I'm fairly sure that we don't need the resource configuration code they use so it may be a simple matter of looking at their code and writing the correct platform bits for the 2100. -- | Matthew N.
