DEC3000/300LX

I got 3 of these babies today (being really yesterday). Apparently they’re 125mhz Alphas with a min of 16MB RAM.

Apparently I can run True64, OpenVMS or NetBSD on them. Some people have tried to get linux going, but I haven’t found any success stories as of yet.

I’m tempted to put NetBSD on and play with it a bit… Another UNIX box can’t hurt, even if I just use it as an X terminal to a Linux box (they’ve got lovely big trinitron screens).

Was hoping to use them as Linux test boxes, but it looks like that’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth….. looks like it’s back to the P150….
