I'll trade ya a small Sparc for a big Alpha..... I don't have one in my collection yet... Actaully, I have a couple of extra lunch box Sparcs if anyone wants one. Run as is or use as book ends. Or gut innards and replace with one of them itty bitty ITX boards.
Bad trade for you.. the Sparc is easier to get into
the dumpster.. :-)
I had a friend who took home a nice Sparc10 server
back in 1995/1996 in lieu of a bonus. Would've been
a good trade if he'd just sold it.. instead, he futzed
around with it and watched it go from Some $10K to about
$10.. :-)
I asked him later whether he'd ever done anything useful with it other than heat his front room, not to mention
whether it was $$$ useful.... No.. pretty much nothing.

I have just about finished moving and am trying to clear out some unnecessary stuff. As such, I find I have a few items that I'd like to offload.
One is a fairly large but very functional Alpha box which used to be DEC 3000 and several SCSI drives, and I need to find a family for it. I remember a few people mentioned off-hand that they'd be interested in having one. (I personally had fun installing BSD on it...)
Also available is a WYSE-50 terminal in mint condition in original box. Barely used.
The price for these items is the same as what I paid for them: 1 beer (for me) each. The option to buy me 2 beers for taking both items is encouraged. Interested parties please respond to me off-list at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Unfortunately, I only have a few days, 1 week at the most, in which to find a loving foster family for these orphaned pieces of technology.
Dennis: if while digging through my stuff I find a punch card reader, I'll be sure to set it aside for you. ;)
