DEC Alpha 3000 Model 300, 2 each 2Gig H.D., 64Meg RAM,
19" Monitor, all for
$250USD. Everything I've seen so far makes this sound like a good deal, but
I am assuming that:
1) the DEC monitor should sync up fine to the VaxStation...
2) I could pull 1 2Gig out and put it in a VaxStation...
Um, I've got a *Better* idea. Add some more RAM to the 3000/300, I believe
it takes 72-pin True Parity RAM (at least the 3000/300LX does) and cluster
it to the VS3100 (run it headless). The 3000/300 is dog slow, but is still
faster than the VAX even with only 64MB.
Or do I still need to figure out what kind of
doohickey will make the DEC
sync up to a PeeCee monitor?
DEC made a cable just for this, I'm not sure where to get one though.
This is gonna be sooooo kewl... ;-)
