Not bad little 1U units. The IDE is slow but usable. The sad thing is
that the unit cannot accept more than 1GB of memory (with lid closed).
The little right-angle memory risers permit 2x512GB DIMMs. Also, you
can not use the 1GB DIMMs that work in the Alpha DS bigger bretheren.
You can, however, populate the DS10L with 4x512GB DIMM if you remove
the right-angle risers. The problem is that you cannot them close the
DS10L lid. I know one fellow who nibbled an opening in the lid and
build a cover to maintain proper cooling airflow.
confuced, box is not in my sight, but it has 2G of memory and the
memory sticks are on the mother board. It says compac on it.

.
Must be a DS20L. No other boxes than the "L" models are 1U units.
You can run VMS, Tru64unix and OpenBSD on it. Older versions of Linux might be possible also.
I have most AXP VMS kits and Tru64 kits.
If you want some version, just tell me and I'll prepare a copy for you.

Hello! Sounds like fun. A lot of fun. However your Google Content entry
does not exist. I am of course familiar with the box in question having
OK. So it's not just me.
seen one, or two, at a meeting for the local DEC (Then Compaq) users
groups.
FYI, I have 2 ES40s @833MHz with 32GB each and 2 DS20Es. Having quad CPUs
that I can use in a minimal Galaxy config is great for testing the things
I do. I have a 3rd ES40 for spare.

AXPEE, 61.2, is also a DS10L. :-)
If you, or anyone on this list, needs an external SCSI controller
card KZPBA-CB for it, I have one that is free to anyone on-list that
can put it to use - all I ask for is to cover shipping (from Canada).
I needed this controller card to hook up my HSZ80 drive array, and I
found a seller on Ebay selling a package of two for the best price -
therefore I have one spare.
If you come across a spare HSZ80, let me know! ;)

If it's 1U it's DS10L, DS20 is bigger box (I have one as my web server)

It will run VMS nicely. It can also run a few different flavors of
UNIX. I can provide a VMS CD image if you like.

I do know that the Google Content entry departing was not related to
anything creating mayhem around Dave, or even the dangerous entities
