I'd offer to swap a Sparc10/512 if the 433a can run Tru64 AND OpenBSD 
AND you could handle the international shipping.  I don't know how it 
would perform against the Alpha, but it pisses all over the IPCs.

I'm looking for something a bit better than my Multia, but Alpha gear is 
unobtanium over here at the moment.  It's rarer than SGI stuff!

Alternatively, if someone could hook me up with something cheap, I'd be 
prepared to pay real money for something like an AlphaStation 200.

Rob.
