From: Wesley Dunnahoo <wdunnahoo at MAC.COM> Subject: DEC PWS 500au looking for new home To: VMS-SIG at LISTSERV.ENCOMPASSUS.ORG Date: Monday, January 11, 2010, 7:44 PM I have an old Alpha PWS 500au available to anyone who wants it. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY in the St. Louis, MO area. I'm currently between jobs and am spending my time looking for a new job, testing OpenVMS 8.4 and learning JAVA. I don't have the time or money to pack and ship it. Currently it won't boot because the ARC/SRM eproms need reflashing. I've been told it's a matter of setting a jumper on the mother board, running the flash utility from CD-ROM or floppy, setting the jumper back and replacing the flash RAM battery. I used to run OpenVMS 7.3-1 on it before upgrading to an ES45 and rx4640. As far as I remember, it has 768MB of RAM, a 36GB SCSI hard drive and two internal CD-ROMs (one is SCSI and bootable by OpenVMS). I also comes with an HP keyboard, a three button mouse and an external SCSI CD-ROM (not bootable by VMS). It may also contain a 72GB SCSI disk also (I can't remember). I'd like it to go to a loving home than just going to the dump. Thanks everyone, Wesley
