   Dec has out in the field a bare few of these NT
running
  alphas that for reasons im not certain of cannot run Unix
  ( something  to do with the firmware ?  other differences ?
  thats my understanding anyway) 
On some systems, it was, indeed, only firmware.  The reason that
VMS, or OSF/1 didn't work on these varies, though, from "just
firmware" to "we did something strange with the design of this 
one."
