QuickSpecs are seldom where the interesting stuff is.  That's what was 
being marketed with the box.

The QuickSpecs get written, occasionally get updated, but don't contain 
the full list of supported widgets.

Check the Options link; the support matrix or whatever the particular 
Alpha/AlphaServer/AlphaStation page calls that link.

You'll find various U3 / Ultra3 widgets listed as supported options for 
that box.

If you're looking for storage-related support stuff, that's elsewhere; 
there's the SPOCK database.
