Sampsa Do you have the release version of 8.4? I had hopes of having iSCSI working with the Alpha Version of 8.4, but I have to wonder if they crippled it so that it only works with HP devices. :-( I've considered seeing if I could use SIMH to export disks. I need a way to significantly cut my power requirements, so that I can bring at least one VMS system back online. I've been considering a lean config on an AlphaStation 200 4/233, rather than my XP1000 with 6 external high performance SCSI drives. I'm also thinking of setting up an Atom based system running SIMH, the problem being that costs money that I'd rather spend on photography. Zane

Yeah, the low RAM kinda sucks. But it seems a bit more light weight than PersonalAlpha and support way more disk..

Terminal software (other than DECterm) that can do ReGIS and/or SIXEL graphics?

So sleek and modern... Especially when compared to the Honeywell terminals I used in the early 90's. I've always lusted after a VT340+. Does the VT525 support REGIS or SIXEL? It seems like the most practical terminal to buy at this point, since it can use a VGA monitor.
