Well, it has Digital Unix 3.2 on it, so I'm considering installing VMS
onto it. This thing runs pretty nice, I'm not sure if I rather have VMS
on *nix on it... If I do get VMS running on it, I might be wanting to get
rid of my VAXstation 3200 though. Hmm.

Still a nice machine. You can run it headless with a serial console, just do
not plug a kb in, and plug the terminal into the serial port on the back. This
machine can run OpenVMS , Tru64 or OSF/1 unix, Linux (although with some work)
and Netbsd. This is one of the alpha processors which CANNOT run NT... no
loss there though...

RZ26 a 1G drive? And how clock speed is the proc?
I know I made out with a steal - he had no idea what it was :)
What kind of OS's are available besides NetBSD or Linux... Is there a
version of VMS or Ultrix that'll work? Also, I didn't get a keyboard with
it and didn't see one there. What kind of keyboard does it use, and can I
use a serial terminal instead?
Thanks for the help!
