This Alpha walks into a bar…
So, I have worked with alpha-based computers for several years and I even
had a few for a while, but in preparing to move I decided I didn’t want
those any longer, but I did want an alpha. Well, this last week I put a
posting on craigslist.org saying I wanted an alpha. This weekend I
was able to pick one up really cheap. Man I love the Bay Area. I can
probably find any hardware I’d want out here.
The alpha is a Personal Workstation 600a:
- 21164A EV56 600MHz Alpha cpu
- 128MB RAM (with 2 open slots so I can expand it later)
- 2x 4GB SCSI hdd
- SCSI CD-ROM
- SCSI 4mm Tape Drive (DDS-3 DDS-2)
This machine will be named Bob, after Silent Bob in the Jersey Trilogy.
