My Multia runs VMS. With 128 MB and a 2.5" disk it runs for two hours

some time ago and I"d rather not operate it horizontally. Initially
the system just had 40 MB and I wouldn't recommend that for VMS. My
Alpha Server 300 runs at the same clock speed and that system is a
lot faster. Off hand I can't recall whether the systems have the same
cpu and board logic.

  Ahh, I know those machines well; I ran three or four of them here for
a long time, as general "utility" servers.   One was my mail server, one
was my web server, one ran DNS and other network infrastructure stuff.
They were great machines.   I just gave the stack of them (but retained
one =)) to a friend at VCF-East last month.

  Good little machines, and reasonably power-efficient and compact while
still having enough PCI slots to do useful things.

  They are based on the 21064A; considerably faster than the 21066 at
the same clock speed.   I don't recall what chipset is wrapped around it.
(in either case)
