If memory serves:

Alpha 166, upgradable to 233 (max)
Uses True Parity SIMMs.

SVGA is TGA or some odd-ball standard which gives decent resolutions but
is limited to 256 colors(?)

Sound is Windows Sound System Compatible(?)
 
And wasn't there room for EITHER a floppy drive OR a hard drive. Not both
at the same time.

Also, onboard IDE (which was always recommended NOT to use, poor
performance), with a common add-in SCSI card (?)

Small, slim machine (from the pictures I saw)... I was tempted to get one
for a while, but didn't want to put a lot of money into it.

Oh-- most of the Multia's 'BIOS' battery's were dead (in the cases I
saw)... have you installed a new battery or doing some weird kind of
workaround?

Have fun.
