Hi folks,
Courtesy of a UK university I'm now home to a nice wee Alpha 3000-300LX,
which is important to me as it was the machine I taught myself enough to
install/maintain/upgrade/troubleshoot DEC OSF/1 and bluff customers back in
1995. Bits of the machine fit the 10 year rule since the chips and cables
have 1994 date codes :) In fact wasn't the 300LX released in '94? I can't
remember and my Systems and Options catalogues are down in the garage. And
it's *cold*!
I've a feeling that running Apache on Alpha VMS might be a bit slow, which
is a shame, but the machine came will a full set of Tru64 4.0F media so
that's my first port of call for running the Binary Dinosaurs website on one
of its inhabitants :)
Cheers,
