Yeah it's really quite sad. Of course people scoff, but it's a great way to test floating point since it's obviously not an intel product... and gives different results, in strange and fun ways to make sure your code still comes out right......

Yes Jason, I can't believe it won't fulfil that huge gap in hobbyist NT 4.0 Alpha users' emulation needs.

It emulates a AlphaServer 400 with up to 7 drives and 128 MB of RAM. Runs on Windows though :(
I'm currently rolling out a test system to see how well it behaves on Win2K3 Server.

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

That's ghetto as hell. Only 128MB? That's not much for an Alpha.

I saw a VT340 go in ebay.co.uk not all that long ago. (1 year?)
I keep two VT340s around the house. I absolutely adore them. I wouldn't mind picking up a VT330, just because that almost-flat CRT is a sight to behold. Razor-sharp. By comparison, at times the VT340 can be a touch blurry, especially when not yet warm.

Cool! Note sure if the VT330 can do sixel, but the LA75+ printer
can... ;)
The VT330 can do sixel. Only greyscale, and I'm not sure if it can do a
full six bits worth.
Peace... Sridhar
Ah OK,
In that case I'll give it a go over the weekend.
