I have
installed OSF/1 on the AXP 7000 and it's working. Quite a bit
more snappy than the VAX6460. Man, I have no room for this machine
left and now I love it so much!
I don't doubt it's a nice machine, much larger than I'm brave enough to
tackle though. The biggest such machine I'd like would be a VAX4000 class
system. Eventually I'd like to get something like an DS20 or ES40 for
running VMSon.
I know what you mean. I keep a VAX 4000-100A for VAX
stuff, an Alphastation 500/500 as a workstation, and
my main server is an Alphaserver 4100 5/466. I don't
think I'd want to have something much bigger than the
AS4100. An ES40 would not be bad. It's the same
size as a rack-mounted AS4100. The only thing to do
is wait until they come down in price.
