So is it running on x86 or Alpha?

Hello!
Also I forgot to mention that earlier in the week, the machine manager
back in the University mentioned here that he'd be doing maintenance
on it....
He also mentioned that there would be few messages during the time
period that the host would be taking time off.

Hello!
I agree!
Sampsa, does the license of the Pathworks kit allow for the individual
using it to make copies of the disks for backup? And then to share the
backups?
Funny, funny, I have a copy of the original DOS disk someplace, but
its on a 5.25 disk and my only machine who can read that disk is on
down time at the moment.
I also don't have here a card that's designed to use it. At one time I
had a replacement binary that allowed for the Racal designed
networking card (Ethernet) to take over for the DecNet card, that's
the one with the two individual ears. Also the card as well, but I got
rid of the card and the disks when the card wore out.......
Also the individual who did have some of those boards, actually sold them all.

Hello!
Oh mynock muffins!
I remember OS-9, I actually looked at it, for one project or another,
it seemed to be an excellent OS for what it could do. Too bad the only
system developement was supported on was a dang-blasted CoCo......
I then started digging even deeper into the Apple II, by the time the
PCs were being cloned, I wore it out. Now its up to something else to
surface. Or at least arrive......
Incidentally Sampsa, if you do end up buying that Alpha system, what's
happening the the fellow he's replacing?

What I find fascinating is that in English, Ducth and a few other languages
most elements have names that end in -ium. For me that sounds like Latin.
Italian comes from Latin and most elements suddenly end in -o.
Take Iron (Fe), which has two valencies 2+ and 3+. The old style dutch names
for Fe(II) compounds were called Ferro, say Fe(SO4) was Ferro Sulphate and
Fe(III) compounds were called Ferri so Fe2(SO4)3 was Ferri Sulphate.

Any suggestions for names of elements that are 6 characters or less, in
