The key thing is the progress this represents. The fact that you got it running at all
would seem to put it ahead of Jonathan D. Belanger?s DECaxp fork. I believe some folks
had gotten ES40 to sort of boot, but I don?t think they got as far as any networking.
AXPbox represents a very important path forward for the OpenVMS Hobbyist community, and I
wish the folks working on it nothing but the best!
In all fairness, you shouldn?t expect good performance from any Raspberry Pi that?s being
used to emulate a DEC Alpha. The commercial Alpha emulators really expect you to be
running on a high-end system.
The DEC Alpha page on my DEC Emulation website has just been updated to reflect this
news.

If anyone has any information on Jonathan D. Belanger?s DECaxp fork, I?d be interested.

It seems quite unstable in places.... and very slow.
I got it running on a raspberry Pi 4 with the 64bit OS.
