[HECnet] FreeAXP Alpha Emulator

[Jason Stevens]

Yeah it's really quite sad.   Of course people scoff, but it's a great way to test floating point since it's obviously not an intel product... and gives different results, in strange and fun ways to make sure your code still comes out right......

Yes Jason, I can't believe it won't fulfil that huge gap in hobbyist NT 4.0 Alpha users' emulation needs.

Guys, just saw this on openvmshobbyist.com:

           FreeAXP http://www.migrationspecialties.com/FreeAXP.html#Components

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.
