No, the second one is the one I'm going to 'come across' in the
future :)   Sorry to raise your hopes.

  Grrrr. ;)

This one came out of an old
sawmill in town a few years ago - I got a phone call saying that they
had heard that there was "some old mainframe crap" getting scrapped
at the sawmill and heard that I was one of those crazy collectors.

  WTF?   Since when is an Alpha storage array "old", "mainframe", or
"crap"?   I hate stupid people.   But sometimes their stupidity gets
thinking people good, high-end hardware.

By the time I got there, the drive array and some documentation was
all that was left.   It lied around my garage for a year or so, then
spurred me into getting the DS10L to give it something to hook up
to.

  Nice.   The Alpha it was originally connected to probably went to a
dealer for big bucks.
