Guys, just saw this on openvmshobbyist.com:
FreeAXP http://www.migrationspecialties.com/FreeAXP.html#Components
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.
That's ghetto as hell. Only 128MB? That's not much for an Alpha.
Peace... Sridhar

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.

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.
