Gentlemen,
I've decided to get rid of some of my older DEC gear (mostly my stripped down Alphaserver 800) in order to raise money (I'm pretty skint at the moment), and to clear some space in my study so thought I'd offer it to the HECNET community first before ebaying it.
Whats' for sale:
Alphaserver 800 CPU (I believe it's 500 MHz)
1 GB memory kit (might be 2 GB, have to check) for an Alphaserver 800
3 x BA356 boxes with identity modules
A selection of 4, 9 and 18 GB drives in caddies ready for
4x4GB drives for an Alphaserver 800
KZPAC raid controllers (I think two of them)
An Alphaserver 800 in a non-working state, might be the power supply.
It has a working CDROM drive for loading software onto it.

DEC didn't follow suit.
Ironic that an anti-trust settlement against Microsoft just ended up with more people running Microsoft software, which locked them into Microsoft upgrade paths.

I think Royal Holloway (Uni. London) still uses a pair of 4100s for student registration and print management.
That was a few years ago though.

I've heard the supply of those has been depleted... (sorry couldn't resist).
