Task for today: install Red Hat #Linux 7.2 on the #AlphaServer DS15. Took me ages to find a copy that actually boots and not crash when starting the kernel...
#AXP
Given how rare software for #AXP is, I'm very glad to own the full set of Windows 2000 RC1 for #Alpha systems.
Best thing you can do with a #DEC #AlphaStation 255: play #Quake 2 on it. 😂
Going to upgrade my #AlphaStation 255/300 today with more RAM (256 -> 512 MB) and a nice #ELSA Synergy-8 graphics card based on the #Permedia 2. Quake 2 should really fly with that configuration.
After quite a struggle, SoftWindows 2.0 is now running on the #AlphaServer DS15A as well. 🥳
Installed #Corel #WordPerfect 7 on my #AlphaServer DS15A running #Tru64 #UNIX 5.1B.
Next project will be fixing an #AlphaServer DS20e. Got the missing front parts for it lately, which were missing from the machine.
Installing #Tru64 #UNIX 5.1B on the #hp #AlphaServer DS15. Quite clunky...
Installing #OpenVMS 7.3-1 on the #hp #AlphaServer DS15.
The #AlphaServer DS15 is reassembled and working fine so far. Next is installing an OS. 🙂
Most parts are cleaned, checked, and back in the chassis. Mainly PSU and drives as well as cables left to do.
With some luck, this will be a fully working #hp #AlphaServer DS15 in a few days again. 🙂
Look at this beautiful 1 GHz #Alpha #CPU from an #HP/#Compaq #AlphaServer DS15.
The underside does not have pins, but holes in which wires end. These wires are touching the contacts on the motherboard. There's no socket whatsoever. Weird design.
Hätte hier noch eine letzte #DEC #AlphaStation 255 rumstehen, die einen neuen Besitzer sucht. Für Bastler, da höchstwahrscheinlich defekt.
AlphaStation 255, 300 MHz
256 MB RAM
CD-ROM-Laufwerk
KEINE Festplatte, KEINE Grafikkarte
System lässt sich einschalten, tut aber rein gar nichts (auch nach längerer Zeit kein Piepston aus dem Speaker). Netzteil und CPU sind getestet und ok. Mehr Zeit hab ich aber dann auch nicht investiert.
Gehäuse ist "ok". Viele Kratzer und Rückstände von Aufklebern.
Gebe die hier über Mastodon für 150€ ab. Allerdings nur Abholung.
The #digital #AlphaStation 500 is almost done now. All parts minus the PSU are reassembled. That thing is quite a beast. 🥳
Not sure how long it will take to fix the PSU. May not look into it immediately.
For quite some time, I had no time to work on any #retrocomputing related stuff. Now I'm trying to catch up. Yesterday, I finally fixed the mainboard of the #digital #AlphaStation 500. Had to replace two shorted tantalum caps as well as one thyristor that blew due to the high current from the shorted caps.
Next is fixing the PSU...
