It will probably be the next Alpha I go for. The big thing is, it really
needs to have a U2W SCSI controller in it. Of course it will probably be
quite some time before they drop in price to the point where I feel I can
afford one. My other choice would probably be an XP1000. At this time
however my DEC PWS 433au is sufficient for my OpenVMS needs.

What is your opinion of the DS10 Alpha as an entry
level
current "production" machine. I was thinking that my
next acquisition might be something more contemporary.
I found an interesting reference to one here:

... which got me interested.

My DEC interests lie in
the pdp8, pdp11, and VAX line. I also hack
lots of Alphas, but they're more current "production" machines for me.
