It's not available yet. The latest "Digital News & Review" mentions two
such animals, Pelican and Triumph. According to them, Pelican will be
available first for around $7K and Triumph will follow later for around
$4K.

Can't imagine why anyone would _want_ to stick EISA off an Alpha, though;
seems like a can of worms that will never work right (how do you expect the
Alpha to execute the ROM BIOS on a VGA card, for example?).
