Alpha workstation

[Steven Edwards]

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.
Thanks

The Alpha workstation is still being manufactured? I thought they went
extinct after Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 had no Alpha version....

They are still shipping systems until October 27, 2006. There is still
quite a lot of Tru64 and OpenVMS in use but yes Win2000 was killed
after RC1. I have a copy of it here. The box in question is a older
Dec pws433 workstation.

I've always wanted a 64 bit box to play with. But I am in the UK.

Fortunately, ReactOS may be able to fill the void of Windows 2000 on the
Alpha machines....

I think its coming a bit too late for that...alpha is already dead.
Hell everything is consolidating down to x86 now, even macs.  Hopefully
we will start seeing more than 2 x86 vendors in the future.

How much and can you wait for a bit? I'd love an Alpha and might be able to
cover cost and even the Shipping, but money is really tight ATM.
Not that I could guarantee I'd be using it for ROS devel... but I'm always on
the lookout for good machines like that.
