Hello,
I'm a PC-bound FreeBSD lover that wants to get an alpha to play with.
According to the description on FreeBSD mall:
FreeBSD/AXP supports the following alpha platforms:
UDB, Multia, AXPpci33, Noname
EB164, PC164, PC164LX, PC164SX
EB64+, Aspen Alpine, etc
AlphaStation 200, 250, 255, 400
AlphaStation 500, 600
Digital Personal Workstation 433, 500, 600
Compaq Professional Workstation XP900,
XP1000, AlphaServer DS10
DEC3000/300 family (netboot only)
DEC3000/[4-9]00 family (netboot only)
On ebay I've seen several machines billing themselves as Alpha 500a
workstations. Is there a difference between these and the Personal
Workstation 500 listed above? What other issues should I be aware of?
Suggestions? Is there some really good documentation somewhere?
Thankyou
