This is the plan. The MIPS version release will follow the Alpha release by 
some number of months. I cannot give further details. You may be able to get
further information in a PID presentation. The Alpha release will be in the 
March/April 93 timeframe.

You could always check with you nearest sales professional for the (hopefully)
irresistable Alpha AXP upgrade prices for your DECstation/system :-)
