VERY rough guess, but I THINK DEC was OEMing mylex boards for their servers.
A look through my TD catalog shows me what looks like the included board, but no
hints to it's true identity. My guess is no go for running this with linux. You
could swap it with DPT, but i know squat about alphas, or if a DPT will run with
one. Hey there's always software RAID : >

OTOH I'm sure if it is a DEC mobo the ethernet should be a tulip chip, hopefully
supported by the DEC de450 driver.

Sorry I could not help more : <
