you!), I have been able to collect more than I initially hoped for,
but a lot is of course still missing.
There is a web site dedicated to the project at

It details parts of the collection.
Hi there,
I can't offer any info I'm afraid, but we do have an Alpha-16 CPU in
reasonably good cosmetic condition:

... I've not seen any documentation, software, peripherals, or even a suitable
PSU / wiring harness floating around for it at the museum, though - and sadly
nobody seems to have any clue where it actually came from. :-(
Going from another photo that I took of the rear of the crate, this looks to
be a 5-slot cage which is populated with four boards - one's definitely
memory, one looks to be I/O of some kind, and of the remaining two, one at
least has to be CPU.
I've only just got back from the US and haven't been over to the museum yet -
but if the system hasn't been returned to deep storage (i.e. it's still
reasonably accessible) then I'd be happy to take some board photos if you wanted.
cheers
Jules
