Yes they do.  However these chips are, as yet, not functionaly different.
The fuseable link that would differentiate the NT-only chips is not being
blown.  The difference is in the SROM (the serial PROM an Alpha initializes
the chip and loads the firmware from flash).  The SROM on NT-only Alphas
won't load the SRM console.
