[HECnet] Anyone got a bootable firmware updater CD ISOs forAlphaservers?

[Sampsa Laine]

When I speed tested the IDE drive against a 5 DISK (9 GB, RAID 5) BA265, I saw no performance difference.

Test file was 100 MB of random data.

The system "Feels" faster weirdly enough, and is tiny compared to any other Alphas I've owned.

Now I'd just love to know the spec of DIMMs for the unit so I can max out the memory.....

Good news Sampsa. Is the IDE disk indeed noticably slower than a (wide) SCSI disk?

WOO HOO. 

CHIMPY just booted off an internal IDE drive. No more crazy storage boxes in my rack.
