A friend of mine was giving away some AlphaServer DS20E (it s a long story :-). It s hardly even an antique, being less than ten years old, but on a whim I decided to take one.
I m glad I did; it s a really nice server. Works great, has four 9.1Gb 10K SCSI drives (sadly mine doesn t have the 6 slot SCSI chassis), and 4Gb of DRAM. Yes, 4Gb of RAM; that s a lot for a 2000 vintage machine. I m tempted load OpenVMS 8.3 and use it to replace LEGATO, if I can afford the approximately 300kWh/month electric bill.
Unfortunately the machines were the rack mount configuration and are for some reason missing their faceplates, and it s kind of ugly. Does anybody have an extra DS20 faceplate that they can spare? Even better would be a set of floor pedestal skins for the DS20.
Thanks,
Bob
