Well, there's always sell off the extra to someone on the list who'd like an
Alpha.
OpenVMS on Alpha would be kool 8-)

Someone on comp.os.vms suggested playing with the
DIP switches that
control the 500/667Mhz settings on the mainboard and daughterboard.
Guess what, I had a 500Mhz CPU in a 667Mhz system. Obviously someone
swapped the board out prior to my buying it. Another reason screen
shots are good when buying a system on eBay.
Is it acceptable if you were to share who this unethical seller is so
that we may all avoid him?

Actually I don't mind ending up with 2 XP1000's. For me my VMS box is a
"critical" system (even if it is just a Hobbyist/Home machine), so a spare
is very desirable. However, it does make some of my existing hardware
redundant.
The only system at home that I use more than my VMS system is my Mac, and
a fair amount of time it is just being used to access the VMS box. Now that
I have a PowerStorm 300, I'm trying to figure out how I can get my VMS
system hooked up to a keyboard, mouse, and Montor (space and cabling
issues).
