Does the 466MHz Alpha chip contain byte and 16 bit fetch/put
instructions? If so, where can I get a C compiler which uses
these new Alpha instructions.
The Alpha Architecture Handbook I have says these instruction don't
exist but I've heard that the EV5/6 chips have this support and that
there is a C compiler available somewhere. Maybe I live in a cave
cause I don't know this already. :-)
Thanks,
Dave S

Yes that chip contains the instructions. Look at the /architecture
(or -arch on Digital UNIX) qualifier to tell the compiler that its OK
to output the instructions.
