Then after the ensuing SUN, Microsoft battle when Microsoft had to retire the 98 product range, virtually all traces of these CDs disappeared.

I now have and still use a DEC Alphaserver 1000a 5/300 with NT4 on it, but have been limited with what I can do with it, thus the desire to get an iso, thus stumbling upon this thread.

I believe the two cd's were entitled "Visual Basic for Alpha Systems" and "Visual C++ for Alpha Systems"

from the link you listed....
Licensed users of the Enterprise editions of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual C++ 6.0 are entitled to receive copies of Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual C++ 6.0 for the Alpha platform for only the cost of shipping and handling. Enterprise customers may order the Alpha edition immediately at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/alpha/default.asp . The Alpha platform editions contain all of the updated components and features from the release of Visual Studio 6.0, including Service Pack 1.
Are you familiar with the web page BETA Archive? https://www.betaarchive.com/
I wanted to submit the ISO there, but the process is too involved and poorly documented. No help from the moderator either.

If you can, we would like to see it work in a video. That would be a cool exchange.
The title of the cd set is "Office test platform & Development Tools", msdn.
The cd's are titled "Visual Basic 6.0 Alpha Platform Development System Disc 1-2" and
"Visual C++ 6.0 Alpha Platform Development System Disc 1-2", dated April 1999.
