I'd vote for Alpha, as it is Different, and an equivalent argument can
be made for using Intel.

How possible/difficult would it be to move the IPC, RISC (which risc is

If this is the one in albert, there was a time when albert ran FreeBSD
and we used that same serial card for serial console access under
FreeBSD.
