Hello, I just found myself the proud owner of an utterly obsolete and completely undocumented Alpha system. Being a masochist, I decided to install FreeBSD. There's a friendly little menu system when the box boots, labeling it a "ARC Multiboot Alpha AXP Version 3.5-7", and a boot menu. You can tell it to boot off the floppy drive, but I keep getting a "file system not recognized" error. I'd be delighted to send along hardware details, but there's no model number on the box. It's brown, flat, rather like a miniature desktop PC case. Four audio ports on the front. The motherboard slides out the back. Does anybody have any idea what this machine is, and where I could get more information on it? I'd love to do a FreeBSD/Alpha article, but I don't even know where to begin. The Handbook & FAQ appear silent on the matter. Thanks, ==ml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
