Hi,
I am breaking out some old computers I have and need a couple parts to get them working.
The computers in question are an Alpha ES40 and an HP ZX6000 workstation.
Anyone out in list land happen to have any spare memory for an ES40? Any size will do,
just need at least 4 pieces to work. I want to run some OpenVMS on this guy so any help
would be great.
Also, I need some Itanium 2 processors for the zx6000. Not worried about speed but the
faster the better I guess. And would love to get two if possible.
If ya have anything like the stuff I'm looking for laying around, let me know what you
want for it.
Thanks!

Do you know exactly what that used for memory? Some of the DEC machines
used registered ECC memory and some of the larger ones had proprietary
memory.

Googling ES40 memory is a start. The DIMMS are 200pin
DEC proprietary. An ES40 will require memory to be installed
in sets of 4, matched in speed and size. Common dimm sizes
are 128M, 256M and 512M with 1G dimms a bit harder to find and
are usually expensive..
I posted some photos of the dimms on my Google image site,
Google Alphaserver in the photos section and you should find it.
As for the ZX6000, memory and processors are readily
available on ebay.

That's what I thought. Don't have anything like that - sorry.
