Hi folks, I noticed that people are interested in up1500. Here in Japan, a few system vendors have started shipping up1500 based Linux boxes to the market. Their price is, for a minimum configuration, about 800K yen. (120yen=1USD). At the same time, some vendors stopped marketing Alpha-based systems, and they shiftted to P4 based clusters market. I have been talking with one of suppliers, if they can sell just motherboard with cpu. Unfortunately, I have got no reply from them yet. As far as I heard from sales staff, up1500 boards are manufactured on order basis, so that total supply might be limitted, and that it is hard decision for them to continue Alpha because its development is finished in 2004. What comes after AXP? If nothing, ... pity! Yoriaki Fujimori To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
