[HECnet] My newest toy

I have just been logging on to someone else's DS10L today to work on my DECnet router. It is the first time I have used one of these and it seems really fast to me. I want one now.....

I didn't know you had two! No, the second one is the one I'm going to 'come across' in the future :) Sorry to raise your hopes. Grrrr. ;) This one came out of an old sawmill in town a few years ago - I got a phone call saying that they had heard that there was "some old mainframe crap" getting scrapped at the sawmill and heard that I was one of those crazy collectors. !! WTF? Since when is an Alpha storage array "old", "mainframe", or "crap"? I hate stupid people. But sometimes their stupidity gets thinking people good, high-end hardware. By the time I got there, the drive array and some documentation was all that was left. It lied around my garage for a year or so, then spurred me into getting the DS10L to give it something to hook up to. Nice. The Alpha it was originally connected to probably went to a dealer for big bucks. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
