Sorry, not yet...

MIKASA is AlphaServer 1000; can have one of EV4/EV45/EV5/EV56 CPU
daughtercard; comes with 3 PCI slots and 8 EISA slots (including one
shared PCI/EISA); builtin NCR810 SCSI controller (Fast and Narrow).

NORITAKE is AlphaServer 1000A; same CPU daughtercards; 7 PCI slots and
2 EISA slots; builtin QLogic 1020ISP SCSI controller (Fast and Wide).

Support at the moment is limited to MIKASA with EV4/EV45 CPUs.

Sorry, these guys sound like the Big Boys (tm), ie 8200/8400 and expen$ive.
No current support under Linux/Alpha.
