Oooooh, an AlphaServer! Is it an AlphaServer 1000 / 1000A? I can help you make it go!

Some more pictures from VCF this year, courtesy of my neighbor Ester! The one with the Pro is connecting to the big beige AlphaServer in the second picture, and the third is her blue AlphaServer
I'm going to start working on some stuff for @r-12.net tomorrow maybe with a floppy drive repair :)

i got my voodoo2 working under VMS on my AlphaServer how hard can it be

My first experience of computational chemistry (Monte Carlo in UG module) was on an SGI Indy. First research calculations would have been on a Compaq DEC AlphaServer

Procházím staré dokumenty a našel jsem konfiguraci serveru pro centrální databázi katastru v roce 2001 - Digital AlphaServer GS160, 6 CPU 1 GHz, 6 GB RAM. Krabice vysoká přes 1,5 m a široká skoro metr. Byl k tomu dodávaný křížový šroubovák, dlouhý půl metru.

Oh shit, I won a reasonably priced eBay auction I fully expected to get outbid on.
Two old Compaq AlphaServer DS10Ls!
My OpenVMS family keeps on growing.

I laid in bed and played atelier while stomach cramping and but I also got openssh 9.5 working on my AlphaServer so really who won

The AlphaServer and RS/6000 eventually finished their task! The AlphaServer produced the Kermit 95 3.0 beta 7 DEC Alpha binaries for NT 3.50, NT 3.51/4.0/2000, and 64bit Windows 2000ish, while the RS/6000 did the PowerPC build for NT 4.0.

Yeah! The last AlphaServer we bought was an 800, and they were absolutely desperately trying to push us to get an Itanium-based system and kept telling us this was the last AlphaServer
They also REALLY wanted us on Windows (on the Alpha chip!), they were pushing hard

They will be. What you need is to find a more local vintage computing group, because chances are someone will be happy to get rid of their boat anchors (e.g. an AlphaServer 2100 is usually something one is eager to part with)

What was that 90s-era ad for the AlphaServer?
"May your content be hot, your graphics be cool, and your servers be Digital"
I think it was titled "The Webmasters' Prayer." I remember it being an animated GIF banner ad; I haven't had any luck finding it these last few years.

big same but with the PS/2s they had. although I *did* rescue a DEC AlphaServer/266 from the trash heap when I figured I could save it and it turned out to just have a bad NIC.

I snagged a DS20 AlphaServer from a broker for $100 (they had no idea what it was) back in the day, and ran my web site on it for almost a decade before it caught fire. I loved those machines.

I put on a playlist of old wheel of fortunes while I work on this AlphaServer as background noise and I forgot all about the shopping segments lmao
you see we need the female demographic, so when a round ends the show should drag to a halt while the winner buys porcelain dogs on a turntable

If you're in the eastern Long Island area and have interest in various bits of computer hardware in various states of function, let me know. There's an AlphaServer and some ISDN gear, among other things. None tested, though.
I'll be having a proper rummage sale/car boot sale in the near future, too

About time I posted something, so last night I installed real 64bit Windows 2000ish on one of my DEC AlphaServer 800s, a model of computer introduced in 1997 with prices starting at around US$30k in 2023 money. The CPU is a 500MHz 64bit DEC Alpha EV56 which was introduced in 1996.

Most valuable must be my CMD SuperCPU128. Bought it new around y2k. Seen two go for around $4000 this year. Most sentimental is my childhoods C64C. I haven't really bought any super expensive retro gear (unless you count the MEGA65). Around $400 for CMD HD and about the same for a Alphaserver DS15.

honorable mentions include the kaypro "portable" my grandpa had which taught me how to get around CP/M in the mid-80s
moxie, my first hand-built linux box, slackware floppy install (oif)
my beloved AlphaServer 400 which I picked piecemeal out of the Indefinite Loan room at DEC when I worked there

More E-waste. Supposedly a CPU board from an Alphaserver ES-45.
Date codes for 2002, still has compaq branding. At this point, though, I thought compaq had sold all the Alpha copyrights, so I'm still skeptical that's not an Itanium or something under there. It was cheap AF tho.

Yep. Quite a few manufacturers used Toshiba units - DEC, Sun, NeXT, Apple. All of mine came from DEC platforms; this one is an RRD47 from an AlphaServer.
