[Lilux-info] AlphaServer

Hi all, I can offer a few AlphaServer machines for whomever'll take them: 1x AlphaServer 1000A 2x AlphaServer 2100A Those machines come with single Alpha CPUs, somewhere between 233 and 300MHz, and an unknown amount of RAM (nowhere near maximum capacity - which would be 1 resp 2 GB - for sure). The 1000A comes without internal disk drive, the 2100As have an internal disk of 2GB. All b0xen have one or more network interfaces and SCSI. Additional diskspace can be had in the form of one or more disk bays, each being able to hold 6-7 drives, with most drives being 1 or 2 GB (a very few have 4GB), to be connected via SCSI. One such AS2100A was presented during LinuxDays2005, for those who've seen it. These machines are *servers*, i.e. noisy, large (19"), will use lots of electricity and replace your heater, but they are also very fun to play with (ex. the SRM is to a PC BIOS what a Ferrari is to a Trabbi, one of the very first 64bit architectures, etc.). Of course, you may run Linux or some BSD on these machines, the AS2100As were even installed with Debian GNU/Linux already. So, this is definitely not for those who want/need extreme high-end CPU power (these machines are too old for that - they were high-end back in their time), but more for collectors and tinkerers. So if someone's seriously interested, let me know. FCFS applies. Greets Eric P.S. Preferrably those who'll get them should pick them up by car @Kirchberg, hauling them alone is somewhere between "not much fun" and "impossible" ;-)
