VCF has a few Alphas - they have two DEC/Compaq ES40s- which support multiple (4) Alpha 21264 68/833-MHz CPUs. These are the big blue rack-mountable, post-1995 (no comment) 4u systems that can run Tru64 or OpenVMS. A donation of a more period appropriate system I'm sure would be appreciated, but at least VCF has a representation of an Alpha system if they need. it. -andy

Ahh.. the eternal debate "What is vintage?".
So, at least under that definition, VCF MA would gladly accept a donation of an Alpha (I think they may have one... but the more the merrier!) since it was introduced in November 1992.
