One line of systems I see very little about on the web or in vintage computing
circles are the Alpha Microsystems units (not! DEC! Alpha!~). Now that I have
my own Alpha Micro Eagle 300, I've compiled together most of my notes on
various models, a primer to AMOS, some software and a link library and put
the E300 into the server rack so that a real AMOS/AlphaTCP system can serve
it itself.
Hopefully this will be useful to other people who have been curious about
Alpha Micro boxes.

I've always liked them. The Salvation Army used Alpha Micros (my suspicion
is the local corps had an AM-2000, based on the year) for their church
management software for many years, which is where I got rudimentary
experience in AMOS.
It's a shame they're not more common, because they're certainly interesting.

I know that AMOS was in a lot of vertical markets, and it doesn't surprise
me to see a charitable application. I know it was also in quite a few
medical and dental offices.
Sellam got me some contact information, and I've also had some luck with a
few other feelers, so I might be able to get more up soon than the sketchy
rudiments I have posted now.
