hello all,
IIRC, the NVAX5 chip is pin-compatible with the AXP 21064 chip. is
this true? if so, my next question is, has anyone had any experiences with
replacing the processor in an older-model Alpha box with an NVAX processor
for a fast VAX? Next, assuming this is possible, how on earth could one go
about getting one's hands on an NVAX5 chip in this day and age??? is this
a pipe dream? :) i wont even begin to worry about firmware for such a
half-breed yet! 
Also, far less related, assuming i can't find an NVAX5 or put it into, for
example, a DEC3000, is there a way to put a 21164 into one? 

probably just dreaming,
