The local surplus place has an Alpha available. I know nothing of these machines. It is in a black 4U rackmount case. Front panel door opens to reveal a 3.5 floppy, removable hard drive (which has been removed and disappeared), and a CD drive. Inside the machine are two scsi cards, and a few others I didn't look closely at. There's 256M of ram (all big 32m modules). If anyone is interested, let me know, and let me know what you want me to look for, and I'll go back and look at it closer. If you want it, I'll put you in touch with the guy at the store. They typically let this kind of thing go cheap. Jay
