[HECnet] Alpha Emulators for OS X

Thanks Brian. I understand the focus on the commercial side first and then those efforts spinning off benefits to the personal/hobbyist side. Just looked like there wasn't any more efforts focusing on Mac OS X, since its not a large commercial platform. I'd appreciate if you could pass along the question if there are any continuing efforts for Mac OS X.

I had Personal Alpha on my WinXP laptop, but haven't touched it since I got my MacBookPro couple years ago.=20 Would like to run something like person alpha on OSX, cuz running it on WinXP under VM Fusion on OSX is kinda slow (and decnet doesn't seem to be able to talk the real boxes due to all the virtual networking). I found articles about ES40 project for OSX, but looks like it ran out of steam. That is/was Camiel Vanderhoeven. He's working with Migration Specialties Inc. (MSI) these days on a commecial Alpha emulation. I've been actively working with them (MSI) on a parallel project. If you want, I could ask him if he'd mind entertaining question from you about the ES40 project. I'm running AlphaVM-Free from EmuVM on Linux. I suspect that one of the reasons Artem has not ported it to OSX is that he doesn't have anything running OSX. You could ask him.
