Is electricity free where you live ??? I'd love to have a couple of machines up and running, the extra mains power bill would be a little too much for my wallet. A DS10L isn't that bad probably but even a VAXstation 4000-VLC adds about 20 euro's to the monthly power bill. Let alone running a couple of power hungry Alpha Server 1200's and Digital Server 5305's!

Johnny please be so kind to add AR44 (44.1023) to your database as a simh VAX3900 running VAX/VMS 6.1? Woohoo! If I survive the next two days (really bad deadline at work) I'll get back to hacking on tunnels with Brian, and hopefully Area 61 will be online shortly thereafter. I plan to run at least one Alpha DS10L full-time, and likely a VAX or two as well, and then lots of other machines sporadically.
