Oggetto: Re: AlphaServers

I've got two, the first being an 3000/400 64mb with two 146 gb SCSI-320 drives running on converters, one with openBSD 6 and the other with openvms 8.4 running headless.  I doubt I'll ever be able to find the monitor, much less the needed cables and keyboard/mouse to turn it into the desktop it was supposed to be, so I've got a color turbochannel framebuffer if anyone has any use for it.  The second is an alphaserver ds10l with the 617mhz EV67 processor, 1.5 gb ram and a radeon video card on the sole pci port, which runs openvms 8.4 on one hard drive and the most recent available version of unsupported debian linux on the other (I think it's sid?) as a workstation.

Nekochan.net is a fair resource for hobbyist knowledge, possibly the only place online where people are still futzing about with Tru64. 
comp.os.vms on usenet (or the info-vax email gateway) is where all of the latest news and deep tech discussion goes on.  vcfed.org has a very healthy DEC forum too.
