Rumor has it that Zane H. Healy may have mentioned these words: The best price I found for that was around $29.00 per 32Meg stick - Thatsalotsacash for an "old" machine (but better than the $69 that most companies want)... and Jonny the robot may have mentioned these words: Why should I give away a computer I paid $225 for only one year ago (and was worth it then...) ?? Besides, where I live there's not that many "classic computer connoisseurs" around who could make use of this machine -- prolly 20% of the classic computers in a 20 mile radius of my house are *in* my house... My TI-99/4A computers I'll give away -- My Timex Sinclair 1000 w/16K ram upgrade I'll give away... If nothing else, I can use the 2Gig hard drives on my VAXen - I plan on keeping those (they stack well... ;-) And also, Iggy Drougge may have mentioned these words: From the NetBSD page: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Known Bugs for the DEC 3000/300 port Note that not all of the drivers have been thoroughly tested. Since no frame buffer or keyboard is supported on DEC 3000/300-family systems, you MUST use a serial console when running NetBSD/alpha on them. See your owner's manual for information on how to configure your system to use a serial console. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= That would make the 19" monitor pretty near useless, and if I really wanna text-mode login for a weird, proprietary box, I can just telnet into my TiVo, thanks... ;-) Would VMS/Alpha swap more or less than Tru64 on this box w/64Meg? (There was a *lot* of swap...) - I may keep the box for VMS to serve as a "document server" so I can view my VMS documentation on CD - I've heard DECWindows sets up very easily on the VMS/Alpha, but it's rather a pain on the VAX (without dox, anyway...) Hopefully, maybe then I'll be able to get past first base with VMS... Thanks, Roger "Merch" Merchberger
