There's also a Linux port project for it -
http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~prescott/linux/alpha/dec3000-port.html
I've got a 3000 300L (64Mb RAM and 400ish Mb hard drive), and a 3000 400
(96Mb RAM, 1Gb hard drive, CD drive). At the moment (thanks to David W.
for giving me the correct mount options), the 400 has a seemingly-working
Digital Unix install, which I'll probably keep to play with.
The 300 also has a Digital Unix install, but it's pretty much unrescuable,
needing a reinstall. (A lot of essential directories are apparently on a
second drive that I don't have). I was going to get a VMS/Alpha CD, and
turn it into a VMS system - would 400Mb hard drive be enough to have a
working VMS + DECWindows + Multinet (and various useful internet
programs, like IRC ;-)? Also, would there be any potential problems with
simply pulling the CD drive out of my 3000/400, sticking it into the
3000/300L, and booting VMS from the CD?
