Well, after hearing the recommendations, I stopped in at the surplus shop and
picked up an Alphaserver 300. For $30 it has:
266 mhz 21164 Alpha
192 mb ram
1 gb disk
cdrom
Ati Mach64 video
No case key, but thankfully the case is unlocked.
The 400's were the same configuration except for a 1.2 gb disk; I have disks
coming out my ears these days, so I went with the 300 for $10 less.
Seems like a nice little machine to learn about Alphas with. Not to mention
that it should be interesting to try to cluster it with my Vaxstation 4000/90...
And I even found the manual for it on the hpaq web mess!
Anyone got a copy of the Hobbyist VMS/Alpha distribution they can copy for me?
Thanks,
William
