Microsoft Windows Nt Server
Resource Kit : For Windows Nt Server Version 4.0 (Microsoft Professional Editions)
Microsoft Windows Nt
Workstation Resource Kit (Microsoft Professional Editions)
Microsoft's take on Windows NT, both the Server and Workstation versions. These sets
provide the basic knowledge required to run Windows NT ("the documentation Microsoft should
have provided with NT" in some people's opinion) plus a good set of utilities to get
you started doing advanced work in a domain or even on a local workstation. While some may
feel that the tools may be light on functionality or lacking in completeness and the
documentation too "Microsoft-centric", the contents of this set are the basis
for the Microsoft certification exams.

Show-Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT
and the Next Generation at Microsoft
An inside look at the NT project, Dave Cutler, and the team that brought NT to the
market. While not specifically related to Alpha, there are several mentions of it in the
book; it is more of a detailed look at the soul of the OS rather than the technical
details.
Quake II
The first commercial game for Alpha NT is also the best! From id Software comes Quake II, a game that can be played single-user or networked natively on the Alpha. While you'll need this kit, you'll also need the Alpha version of the executables that aren't on it. The Alpha version of the program can be found in the Games section of the AlphaNT Source archives as well as on id Software's FTP site.
