Wow, imagine seeing this just after booting up my PWS running NT (and RH Linux...). NT 4, but one day I do want to try 2k.
My immediate question which isn't (I think) answered in the repo is how do you interface the NVMe? Can you put NVMe on PCI as opposed to PCIe? How?
In the meantime, I'll just add the desire to do this to the other Alpha-related intrusive thoughts I have, like getting that port of OpenSolaris/Illumos to Alpha to run...

PCI to PCIe adapter and then PCIe to M.2:

(PCIe has some level of backwards compatibility, although like that thread shows there are some limits as to what will work).
For those of us who like seeing old OSs running on old bare metal to a daft extent, a YouTuber "Omores" is worth a look:

He has videos on this driver running on NT and 2000.
I wonder how much further back he can take it. NT4 and NT3.51 would be really cool to see supported.
Omores did a video on it with NT 4.0, and the description says it does also work with NT 3.5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvT9-ZfW1Iw
