HP/DEC/Compaq

I will post the config of my AlphaServer DS20e and AlphaServer 800 5/550, and J5600 if there responses in this thread.

R.

Is that a threat or promise?

HP-9000 D370 and DEC AS-400. Plus various HP PCs.

If a custom Alpha PC counts as DEC than this is mine:
Alpha 21164 533 MHz
AlphaPC 164LX motherboard
4x256 MB ECC RAM
ELSA GLoria Synergy (Permedia 2 + 8 MB RAM)
Symbios Logic 53C875 SCSI
Plextor Ultraplex 40 max
A ATAPI DVD and a SCSI HDD
digital DE500-BA NIC
ATX Tower
dual booting NT 4.0 and Debian Lenny.
Both OSs run well, I managed to find a nice collection of AlphaNT software including most versions of Visual C++ and Office 97. Still looking for some 3D software.

I also have a HP Apollo 715/50, hopefully I will install NextSTEP there some time in the future.

Did I sound like that...? I've been trying to deal with difficult people all day, fortunately I have management support all the up the chain to the regional level.

R.

I've got an nicely configured AlphaServer DS15 collecting dust.
Other than that I'm running low on non-SGI stuff, if you don't calculate the Mac- and PC-stuff.

Does things branded d|i|g|i|t|a|l count or are we only talking about later DEC stuff?

I have (what I remember now)

DEC AXP 5000 (model 400 or 500)
AlphaStation 200
AlphaStation 255
AlphaStation XP900
AlphaServer DS10
AlphaServer ES45

EDIT: I see we are doing digital stuff as well:

PDP-8/e (with TU56, PC04)
PDP-11/23, 11/34, 11/44 (with RL01, RL02, RX02)
VAX-11/750 (with RA81, RA72)
MicroVAX 3300, 3500, 3800 (With R215f disk expansions)
Vaxstation 2000, 3100, 4000/vlc, 4000/90 (with storage expansions)
DECsystem5500
DECstation 5000/150, 5000/120

People seem to have quite a bit of gear, perhaps we should setup a DECchan (or just keep it here)

Edit: Ah, people also list terminals, I will too

vt125
vt220

I had PDP11/23, 11/35 11/40 with pleanty of disks and alot of DEC VT100 in my apartment before I got married some 15 years ago now I have a wife and kids in a big house and no PDP

VAX 4000 model 200 with 32MB and HSD05. OpenVMS

VAXstation 4000 model 60 92MB/4GB. OpenVMS.

Personal DECstation 5000/25. Nothing permanent yet.

DEC3000 model 300X, 192MB, 4GB (considering trying to hack in a DECchip 21064A/275 for speed boost) OpenVMS.

DIGITAL Multia VX42. 128MB, no drive (uses SCSI laptop drives, so external drive is the way to go).

AlphaServer 1000A 5/333, 384MB/many drives. Permedia3 graphics OpenVMS, Tru64, Digital UNIX, Alpha Linux (should be BSD, working on changing that).

AlphaPC 164 with 500MHz 21164 and 256MB RAM. No OS yet.

Otherwise:

Hm - does a lowly Digital Multia VX40 count? Still waiting for some TLC (battery dead), though, since I pulled it out of a dumpster (the same one I got my two I2 from...) about a year ago.

Other than that I only have the two HP Kayak PCs (XM600/XU800)...

First PC I ever saw was when my father brought home a Compaq Portable. Green CRT, dual 5.25" floppy drives, some ancient Compaq DOS version, and Lotus 1-2-3. Very heavy, trunk like.

Later on we got a different Compaq "portable", with an amber flat screen (not a TFT, I think it was plasma?). It still had an XT CPU, so that was probably the Portable-II. IIRC, that one had a 20MB harddisk...

I don't have any HP/DEC/Compaq systems anymore. I used to have a HP 712/60 (?), gave it away. I sold my last Alphas last year. Now I only have SGIs. Lots of them

I aquired a bunch of VAX machines some 10 years ago now.

DEC:
VAXstation 3100m30 (x4)
VAXstation 3100m38 SPX (SPX board came from the broken m76)
VAXstation 3100m76 (broken)
VAXstation 4000m60
VAXstation 4000m90 (80Mb RAM)
VAXserver 3100m??
VXT2000+

Associated hardware like VR299 monitor (x3), VRT19 monitor, VT520, VT420, VT240 (x2), a couple of expansion boxes, DECserver 200MC (x8) and a ton of LK201s.

Most of the stuff is in storage only the two VS4Ks and m38 are setup since I can then do with just the VT520 on my desk.

And my Alpha:
Personal Workstation 433a (original 433mhz cpu, 2Mb cache board, Powerstorm 4D40T gfx)
I have no copy of Tru64 to go with it so it's been running Linux with a Radeon 7000 PCI card for gfx.

HP:
HP Visualize C160 (512Mb RAM)

Compaq (PCs):
Deskpro ENS/500
Deskpro ENS/933 (mostly retired Solaris 8 buildhost)
Evo D5S (1.5Ghz P4, WinXP)
Evo D51S (2.53Ghz P4, runs Vista)

These days the Evo D51S is actually the one I use most out of the lot.

That is a bunch of DECservers! Would you consider parting with one or two?

HP C3700
HP J6000

(Sun Ultra 24 as main dev workstation running ubuntu 10.10 Vbox for windows)

HP C8000
HP rx2600
DEC VT220

zx1 chipset 'obsession'.
Both are maxed-out in my case: C8000 came maxed-out and rx2600 i maxed by myself. As for C8000: supported video-option is better there - ATI FireGL X3 (for IA64 you're stuck with X1, which occupies two slots ), processor option is interesting, comparing with IA64 - i have 2x dual-core PA8900 (so 4 cores in total, in rx2600 i have 2 cores) with huge caches, another very cool thing is that i got C8000 with full room of RAM, rare 4 Gb PC2100 modules in 8 slots total - 32 Gb at all, so C8000 is ideal for HPUX`ing For rx2600: integrated ATI 7000 on iLO MP card is a nice bonus (it's supported by OpenVMS DECWindows for example), i have an AGP riser option also: so outstanding graphics for HP-UX (up to ATI FireGL X1), Windows and Linux is there. CPU option is unique of course (EPIC architecture, opportunity to run unique systems like: Windows/IA64 and OpenVMS finally, nice threading and productivity with dual 1.5 Ghz / 6M L3 cache CPUs), room space for RAM is also awesome: 12 slots, up to 24 Gb officially, up to 48 Gb (!) un-officially (should be, i checked by moving 8x 4 Gb sticks from my C8000 there, remaining 4x slots were filled with 2 Gb sticks - and i got 44 Gb working there ), but for 48 Gb i wasn't be able to find cheap 4 Gb kits at all, so stayed with 2 Gb modules.

Would love a MicroPDP 11/23 (a smaller 11/23 in the same BA23 as the MicroVAX II)...

I dream of running RSX-11 natively on a small compact 80's last generation PDP machine..


RIP Olsen... gone but not forgotten

Thought about it, came near to getting a LSI-11, then discovered emulation. With simh you can play around with a -11 and not have to worry about finding a working disk setup or other bits of old, delicate and/or rare hardware. With SIMH, KLH10 and Hercules I can have a -11, -10 and a 370 in one convenient desktop (or even laptop).

yes SAQ...

But their's nothing like that hum and whir of the boot sequence... and just that ('ol memories) feelin'

I'd forgo the VT100 though... (and remember the agony of VT52's at college even in the 90's!..) in favour of emulation at the terminal end!
