Thanks for the very interesting information, I was great supporter of DEC Alpha, and I’m very glad to hear that IT and science people of China recognized Alpha great design and potential, and building on that base, obviously with great success!
I posted link to your blog on my g+ acc, hope you don’t mind?
Also, i found this post with picture of SW1600:
