1823.1All Alpha Systems Use VAX SID CPU Code 128XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 29 1997 18:0519
   All Alpha systems return the SYI$_CPU family code value 128.

   For a recent list of the available hardware model codes (which is
   what I suspect you are looking for), please see an OpenVMS V7.1
   distribution; look in the STARLET.MLB library modules ALPHADEF
   and VAXDEF.

   For the Alpha equivilent of the family code (IMPLVER and AMASK
   instructions -- the direct equivilent of the VAX CPU SID family
   code), see the C code that the URL:
