I looked at the kit again.

The readme's says:

"Also present are VESTED images for Alpha, built from the VAX images."

"Complete VAX SCAN sys + vested images for AXP
This is the complete VAX SCAN system, sources and all. Also present
are VESTED images for Alpha, built from the VAX images."

I guess VEST'ed VAX images would run on Alpha but emit VAX code??
