My mistake, It was a 24 CPU GS1280 and ordered (if not quite yet
commissioned) just before the Alpha EOL announcement.

The QuickSpecs I have just downloaded mention Alpha and Linux
alternatives for the console, but those must have come later because all
we we were offered was a Windows system. The details are on PDF page 9:

(according to that we might have had Windows 2000 rather than NT)
