-This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to HP/Compaq Alpha systems.
-
-== Status
-
-As of FreeBSD 7.0, support for the Alpha platform has been removed. The development of new Alpha systems has been discontinued by the hardware vendor; this combined with the widespread deployment of more mainstream 64-bit platforms, such as the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures, has resulted in significantly reduced user and developer community interest.

-== FreeBSD/alpha mailing list
-
-Because of the dropped support for the Alpha plattform the mailing list _freebsd-alpha_ has been closed. Although it is no longer possible to send messages to this mailing list, the archives can still be https://www.freebsd.org/search/#mailinglists[searched] or https://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/freebsd-alpha.html[browsed].
-The FreeBSD/ia64 project pages contain information about the FreeBSD port to Intel's IA-64 architecture; officially known as the Intel Itanium(R) Processor Family (IPF). As with the port itself, these pages are still mostly a work in progress.

-== Current status
-
-The ia64 port is considered a tier 2 platform through FreeBSD 10. After this it will no longer be supported.
-On this page we try to collect the different machines one can buy now or could buy in the recent past. Presence here does not mean that FreeBSD has been validated to run on it. We get to that eventually. If a particular machine is not listed here, chances are we do not know about it. Note that the Merced based machines are not listed here, even though they are supported. The reason for this is simply that they are not interesting anymore.
-FreeBSD/pc98 is a port of FreeBSD which aims to run on the NEC PC-98x1 (pc98) architecture. The project's goal is to make FreeBSD/pc98 work the same as FreeBSD on other architectures. Most of the kernel source is already included in the FreeBSD source tree and most of the userland utilities built from the source work fine.

-== Status
-
-FreeBSD/pc98 support was removed from 12.0 in revision `r312910`.
-
-FreeBSD/pc98 was a link:{committers-guide}#archs[Tier 2] architecture at the time of 9.0-RELEASE.
-
-Although FreeBSD/pc98 was a Tier 1 for a long time since 5.0-RELEASE, it was downgraded due to FreeBSD no longer supporting installation from floppy disks, and most pc98 machines cannot boot from CD/DVD. Although later pc98 machines can boot from CDROM, FreeBSD's support for that has not been integrated into bsdinstall and release tools.
