[tech] [srd@it.net.au: Secondhand Alphastations]

[Nick Bannon]

Stephen's interested in a 3000/300 (for running OpenVMS ::-) ) and we
might be able to swap a box for some RAM.

I think we currently have two 3000/300's. One has no RAM, dunno about disc
space, centuri has my 4x8MB = 32MB and Fujitsu 2GB HDD (and crawls). I
think one is officially UCC's, the other is officially Mikolaj's. Is
that the case?

Regardless, is everyone OK if we make the offer? A 3000/300 for a
reasonable chunk of workstation RAM? 64MB maybe? What do you think,
Mikolaj?

[TDH] tells me that the Sun Classics can take a 2x32MB + 4x16MB =
128MB - I'm keen to get one of the Classics to that level so we can
have a "Starfish in a lunchbox". Meanwhile, poor Centuri is only barely
operational with 32MB, so it needs something - 4x16MB, maybe.

Nick.

Does anyone know of an organisation or individual (preferably within
Australia) dealing in secondhand DEC Alphastations?

If so, please tell me.  :)  The vintage doesn't matter too much.

I'm looking to pick one up for a personal project.

Thanks.
