Hey Benny!

 BP> with is good as a dec_alpha ready from 29 yaers ago :)

I wouldn't know.  29 years ago there was only sparc(s) as far as I had access
to.  The mainframe was a dec but 32-bit VAX/VMS on there with a bunch of 9
track tape drives.  I heard it took roughly 24 hours to boot the damn thing
up.  I never actually witnessed a bootup but the source of that information
was reliable so I went along with it.

I got offered a 64-bit alpha - free but I had to pay the shipping - after they
got sold to compaq.  If I am not mistaken Tru64 was the OS of choice at that
time.  I think x86_64 is the only architecture that can run 32-bit libs/apps.

 BP> only amiga needs it

Highly unlikely to ever see the light of day here.  I don't do emulators. 
What for?

Life is good,
Maurice
