RE: [ros-dev] Alpha workstation

[Michael Rich]

Lol, you still have that Alpha machine.  My PWS 433a is still sitting in
my backroom where I wanted a port of ReactOS for so very long, but could
never devote enough time to figuring the technical details out.

Another interesting note is I still have the old RS/6000 that Eric and I
were trying to get ROS to run on PPC too, however its packed up in the
closet below my even older AlphaStation 4/233!

Does your PWS433 have USB?  My latest quest has been to hack USB support
for AlphaNT, but thus far its not worked out very well, lol.

Good Luck,
Mike

Hi,
Is anyone in the US interested in using the Alpha workstation for a
possible port? Its kind of gathering dust here and if no one wants it
I would rather we just sell it and stick the money in to the project
pot.

Hey if you wanted to part with the RS/6000 arty might be interested as
he has been doing a good bit on the powerpc port. His Mac just died
but he bought one of those nice IBM AIX Laptops that can run NT4 and
is working on that.
