<How does passing their building prove that they still make VAXen <(as opposed to Alpha-based hardware)? I still have friends inside. The subtle point being I used to work there and make a point of keeping in touch with the activities of what's left of the old DEC. Also I didn't say making, I said selling. I believe there is little if any VAX chip production going on. <> Also the OS is still current and planned for future for the <> Alpha. < <No, it has already been available for Alpha for eight years. It's not <planned for the future, except in the sense that they are continuing to <support it. Nit picking crap again. I was a Digit when it was ported to Alpha. While nt and Unix was more or less new to alpha I was running a Jenson (early alpha) on my desk and using VMS. Keep in mind I run VAXen, talk to Digits (now Compaq) and live local to the action so to speak. <However, a little more thorough searching reveals that as of January 25, <they still offered: < < VAXstation 4000 Model 96 < MicroVAX 3100 Model 88 < MicroVAX 3100 Model 98 < VAX 4000 Model 108 < VAX 7000 Model 810 (up to six CPUs) Asked and answered.
