Alpha CPUs & motherboards - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
   I've got a
few spare Alpha motherboards sitting around.
 I've got PC164, EB164, and PC64 motherboards.  If anyone
 needs any as a spare, let me know.  
 What are the differences?  I have a "noname" board, AT form-factor.  I think
 it's the AXPPci133 or something similar.  I got it running *BSD off of the
 SCSI port a long time ago and haven't done much with it in the past year. 
The PC164 supports the 21164A, the EB164 supports the 21164, and the
PC64 supports the 21064A.

  Thought about trying to follow those instructions for
loading OpenVMS.  It's
 really low on the priority scale. 
I installed OpenVMS on my Multia and added it to my cluster,
but one of the patches broke something and the Multia quit
being able to boot into the cluster.  I later upgraded to
V7.2-1 and the Multia patch doesn't work with that version.
