free Alpha machines

[Robin Humble]

I hope this is appropriate for this list...

We have ~16 DEC Alpha machines that have computed their little hearts
out and now need to retire to a good home.

They are ev56 21164a AlphaPC(?) 164UX machines at 533MHz but
overclocked to 600. 64M of RAM, and most with a 3.2G IDE disk. They
have an extra (8139too compatible) NIC and a cheap video card.
The speed is probably about the same as an equivalently clocked p2 or p3.

They might be good for cross-platform Linux development and/or playing
and/or non-x86 cool factor. They'd prob run a BSD or two as well, and
even 'doze NT for Alpha if you can find it. Currently they are running
RedHat 7.1 (2.4.3 kernel), and booting via ARCS bios and MILO.

Most of them run but some do not. We estimate that if you took all of
them you'd get at least half of them working.

They are free, but you must come and pick them up from UofT.
Please email me directly if you are interested.

lspci, cpuinfo are attached.

cheers,
robin
