I have a DEC Celebris 620. 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.
