I heard that windows 2000 beta supported alpha processor. What was the last build for that ??
RC1 was the last public one.... There is rumors that they distributed production 2000 to some bigger clients that had relied on NT for the Alpha... I can tell you SQL 6.5 & 7 was popular on the Alpha in some big banks & web sites at the time....
And of course, the Alpha was the basis for the 64bit build of Windows, however neither of these have been 'leaked' ..... 2000 Rc1 is as good as it'll get. It's somewhere on here ....

I would recommend installing NT 4 first, then starting the 2000 install from within 4.0
