[HECnet] FreeAXP Alpha Emulator

[Sampsa Laine]

No, haven't really tried....What I was thinking of doing was using this to export lots of disk space to my machines from elsewhere on my network - I was going to use the 8.4 iSCSI stuff but can't get it to work..

Guys, just saw this on openvmshobbyist.com:

It emulates a AlphaServer 400 with up to 7 drives and 128 MB of RAM. Runs on Windows though :(

I'm currently rolling out a test system to see how well it behaves on Win2K3 Server.

Have you ever run an Alpha with only 128MB of RAM?   That is the absolute
bare minimum I'd run 7.2 in, and it wasn't fun.   I really wish they'd allow
between 192MB and 256MB, as at that point it starts being usable.   Of course
I'd also like a Linux version. :-)
