Due to the size of my current residence, I have nowhere to run my AS4100
satisfying the a) quiet enough for me to work and b) enough airflow to
keep the box cool conditions. It's a decent spec even by current
standards. I've experimented with NetBSD, Linux, and OpenVMS -- it's
been running RedHat happily for the last two or three months. The
specifications are as follows:
* Alpha Server 4100 box, rackmount
* 4 x 533MHz, 4M cache processors
* 4 GB of ram (8 x 512M boards)
* 3 x PSU, 2 required for 4 CPU configuration, third acts as failover
* Qlogic ISP1020a
* 2 x DE500 10/100 Ethernet cards
* Number Nine video
* Diff. SCSI Raid (Intel i960 based, A09-KCPSAPS)
* Serial controller looking board (XILINX XC4010E and Lattice ispLSI
1048 chips)
* CDROM
* Floppy
I've seen systems sell for $600 to $1500 on Ebay somewhat similar, all
with much less than 4G of RAM. It's a great box, if you have a basement
(or a server room that you don't spend copious amounts of time in as an
office also ;). She's not quiet!
I am located in Annapolis, MD (21403), about half an hour northish of
Washington D.C. I'd prefer pickup, as this thing is all sorts of heavy;
shipping would be possible, but keep the weight and cost in mind.
I also have the following SCSI enclosures that may be useful:
* HP AutoRaid 12h (12 SE drive with dual raid controllers built in,
HVD external interface to host)
* HP 8 drive SE array (raw drives)
* 12 x 1" 4G drives in HP cases, 2 x 1.5" 4G drives in HP cases
Let me know if you're interested, and make me a fair offer. I'd prefer
to sell it to someone on-list before putting it up on Ebay. Put the
machine to good use!
