A mere 579 miles from Kamloops. Unfortunately have to talk to my
wife who thinks I have too many computers even though I've given away
bulk of my DEC stuff. Never got a chance to play around on Alpha as
it came out during my Mac days.
I have access to 3 ES45s, a DS15, and an RA8000 in a
tall blue
Compaq rack in Athabasca, Alberta. All the in-service disks were
removed but all the spares are available. The box also has the
fibre switches used the connect the RA8000 to the servers and the
cables, much of the paper documentation, and assorted doodads. It
would probably work if plugged in but it has been a year since it
was turned off.
Athabasca, Alberta is about 1.000km North of the US Montana border
and 10,000km from nowhere but it is summer and the weather is nice
so we might be able to load this great heavy beast on a trailer and
haul it up to a day's drive away if anybody want this stuff. This
is rural Alberta so
a day's drive is a l-o-n-g way (like 1,000km?).
I tried to give this away in early 2019 but the deal fell through. If
I don't get a place to send it then I will keep the DS15 and convert the
rest of it into scrap metal.
