Mixup of two different robs :) I phoned you when I saw the message, but whatever the case I don't need it that much. I can drive it back to Colin tomorrow ( thursday ) if that works.

I made a mistake - in my rush to clear out the garage and schedule pick-ups, I gave the Alpha to someone else who I assumed was Rob. My apologies Rob, if the guy who got it (I'm not good with noting/remembering names) doesn't need it, please let me or Rob know and I'll arrange to deliver it. Also if I see other Alpha gear around I'll let Rob know.

I would like an old Alpha capable of running OpenVMS. Just to keep my skills up. I bid on a contract a few years ago to replace an old VAX with a new model system; didn't get it simply because I wasn't American. But I doubt they would find anyone with 1989 certification for VMS. The MicroVAX is pre-Alpha (I remember administering a 3000 series), but can your Digital Server run OpenVMS? I have a CD with VMS Alpha 7.2-2 OS binaries.
As for old PCs, I volunteer with Mike Pfaiffer at a computer lending library. They could use any P4 PCs.
By the way, what is a "Laboratory tube PSU, variable 200-325V 0.1A"?
