I'd be interested in one of the AlphaServer 2100s. I used Alphas running OpenVMS at my last job though not those particular models. <br><br>Hobbyists can get installation media from DEC/Compaq/HP OpenVMS for free (more or less) <br>
<br>Most/all of the documentation is available on the HP web site.<br><br>Do the units have tape or CD-ROM drives? Do they have boot consoles (monitor and keyboard, or at least a DEC-style kehyboard?) Will they run off normal wall power? <br>

The HP printer has been lugged away. The AlphaServer 4100 has been<br>
spoken for.<br>
<br>
The VAX and both AlphaServer 2100's are still available, so now's your<br>
chance to build a cluster of obsolete hardware. And why not round out<br>
the cluster with a nice printer? Anyone?<br>
