AlphaServer 2100s available

[dave.g4ugm at gmail.com]

Folks,

I got one of these from Antonio. It has 4 x CPU boards in plus a few disk drives, but it does not want to power up. It did spin the fans up then shut down. . I now have a lot of other projects on the go, so if anyone would like it please let me know.
Its in Manchester, England.  Replies off-list please.

Dave
