It's not an Alpha based computer it's a Pentium Pro 200MHz. The two machines you have are most likely Pentium based to, unless someone just used the case to put an Alpha board in. I downloaded the manual for the machine I have and it applies to the Venturis also. I also have a DEC AXPpc which is alpha based. Open up the machines and check out the CPUs. Roderick P.
