AlphaServers

[Douglas Taylor]

Anyone out there do Alphas anymore?

I have a running;

1000A 4/266 with 384MB Ram an full compliment of Storage Works disks 
(has redundant power supplies and a nice roll around cabinet)

3000-300 booting from a SCSI2SD disk, (this is nice since it is kind of 
light and can be picked up and moved easily)

3000-400 booting from a SCSI2SD disk.  (this thing is quite heavy, built 
with heavy think metal to support a equally heavy monitor placed on top)

All running hobbyist OpenVMS 8.4, an one VRC16 DEC color monitor.

The only part that failed was in the 3000-400, the I/O module (runs 
network, serial, SCSI, video, etc) was faulty and kept the power supply 
from starting up.

These 64 bit machines are an interesting compliment to the 32 bit VAXes 
I have, 4000/400, 3100/M76, MVII, 40000VLC and the 16 bit PDP-11's.
