Schweet! I didn't know you had two!
Do you already have one? Or, are you not interested in multi-path.
I don't have one. I'd like to put a smallish redundant disk array on
my DS10L. Not particularly interested in multi-path at this point, at
least not on that machine.

I think it's "low-end" in everything but CPU. Those boxes are -fast-.

Are you sure? 310-EAs don't function in the DS10L I have.

BET:: 42.42 is a DS10L - the baby brother to yours. This was my first =
(and so far only) forray into Alpha processors. VMS for Alpha works =
just great on it. There's a hobbyist image floating around.
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.

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.

AlphaServer ES40: Dual 667MHz, 4G RAM, 18G 5.25" IBM SCSI drive I
had laying around that I don't have a caddy for so it's just staying in
by sheer dumb luck. (I have a second but it seems to be dead..) > > Node

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! ;)
