Speaking of raising money ...

...anyone need any DEC hardware?  I have three Digital Alphaservers here that we can't spare the power to run and don't have any OS media for right now anyway (one fully-loaded 4100, one fairly-stripped 4100, and one semi-stripped 2100), plus more DEC StorageWorks arrays, controllers and rackmount kits than you can shake a stick at.  (There's, like, 10 disk arrays and 8 SCSI RAID controllers.)  Any or all of'em can be yours for a song, and the truth is, if we can't find anyone who wants the stuff, most of it (at least the two stripped Alpha Servers) will probably end up being scrapped.

(I might still try to load the "good" 4100 up as far as I possibly can with the available parts and see if I can get it running, but not until we're somewhere with better power than here.)

It's not as maxed-out as it could be by a long way, but it's not bad. It has 1.5GB RAM, two EV5 300MHz/2MB CPUs, one power supply, and the entire PCI card cage is full, containing the following cards, all 32-bit PCI:
1 Digital DE500 10/100 Ethernet adapter
1 Digital DEFPA FDDI adapter
1 Digital DEFPA dual FDDI adapter
1 Digital wide SCSI adapter, 50-24738-01, QLogic
2 Digital Wide SCSI RAID controller, 54-22494-01?, Symbios/i960
2 Digital memory channel adapter, 54-23663-01
I don't have the 100-pin memory channel cables, but I think I have everything else.
