Great list. Thanks to Stephen Spalding, Alan ?, and root? for the quick
responses.
All were very helpful. I used the "uerf" command (described below) and the
Digital web site's (www.digital.com) archives of the Systems and Options
Catalog to get everything I needed.

FROM SSpalding:
Use "uerf -r 300 -R|more" and look at entry number 1 for a listing of
everything that the computer saw when it booted. Go to
http://www.digital.com/alphaserver/ and search for your model of
Alpha server for additional specs.
Hope this helps!

FROM Alan:
All systems ship with a User's Guide of some flavor. The
first good source information would be there, if you can
track it down. Failing that, look at the system boot
messages. Modern versions of firmware may offer a clue
what model the system is and even the clock speed of the
CPU.
The DEC 3000 family came in three general flavors; the
Model 300 desktop systems, the Model 400/600/700 desktop
systems and the Model 500/800/900 deskside systems. The
Model 300 was the probably the shortest of the group, with
the Model 400 family being tall enough for two 5.25" half-
height devices.
For information about system capabilities, look at the
archives of the Systems and Options Catalog at:
http://www.digital.com
There may be old SOC chapters for the systems there.
FROM root:
model # should be on back panel.
should be able to find info on memory and processor with the uerf command
#uerf -r 300 -R | more
you should be able to find info on vmem (swap) with the command
#swapon -s
