Speaking of which, can someone tell me if the Alpha has different endianness than the Intel processors?
I wrote a driver that reportedly simply works on Alpha. So I've been 64-bit clean. The next question is if I was careful enough to also make things endianness-clean.
(In fact, I think there is a place where endianness matters, but it didn't affect the Alpha... )
