Windows 2000/Whistler 64-bit for Alpha AXP really exists!

I did think why there is Alpha64 depends.exe which no system can run it, but now an AXP64 dump is leaked!

It exists! I've heard references to a 64-bit 2000 across the web over the years but never was able to find evidence. This is neat!

There is another build of AXP64, but it is wiped.

Perhaps I'm just missing the obvious but I can't see any download link?
Edit: looks like it isn't the full build?

it is full build, but registry hives are not included in that archive.

Bonus: there is x86 SysWOW64 folder and you may possible to mix 2210 WOW64 and 2211 to make a bootable 2210 system.

Is it? Because BetaWiki's been edited today for the page on this build and they still say it's unleaked.

it'll be soon enough I want to reproduce it on another system and make sure the PII stuff is all wiped

have patience.

since most people don't have alphas and there is no setup, it's just a filesystem dump anyways.

Oh boy, it's time to pull my Alphas out of storage again.

Just heard that a discord member was able to recreate install ISO of 2210 axp64!
