I'm not too familiar with Alpha machines, but this sounds
interesting.  Performance-wise, what level of Intel-based
machine would you guess this is roughly comparable to?

Other Alpha questions: what kind of cable do they use to
connect to the monitor?  Would I need an adapter cable or
can I plug my PC monitor right in?

I didn't see anything about those Alphastation 200s on
Plat'home's web site.  Do you recall how much memory/hard
drive they had?

Thanks,

Jonathan
