Is there something like MAINDEC for Alpha?
I have an AS1000 that randomly goes catatonic and I'd like to try to narrow down
what's going on.
It will do it shortly after boot, usually within 15 minutes, and won't run for longer
than an hour at most.
Sometimes it hangs hard and must be power-cycled, sometimes it crashes with random
messages.
The SRM diagnostics say nothing is wrong, even when run for very long loops.

I can't help you with your specific question, but as far as general
info about the AS1000, if you find yourself spending too much time on
it, trash it and get something like an AS4100 to replace it. The AS1000
is one of the crappiest, flakiest machines I've ever seen come out of
DEC. I've owned several, and every one of them ended up giving me problems.
