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. http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/antonio/MDS-2000-01_3_of_3/Storage/= KZPBCUGB.PDF = https://www.islandco.com/sn-kzpba-cb-hp-compaq-q-logic-uw-differential-scs= i-hba-50v-32bit Island!
