How to determine ALPHA or VAX chip for DEC OpenVMS Systems
The OpenVMS Operating System runs on two different Digital Hardware
Platforms, DEC VAX and DEC ALPHA(64bit).
To determine what hardware platform a Digital OpenVMS Operating
system is running on, enter the following at the DCL$ command line:
write sys$output f$getsyi("arch_type")
If it returns a '1' then it is the Digital VAX chip
If it returns a '2' then it is the Digital Alpha chip
