Hi Richard,
I've got everything lined up to do a full pickup, except the timing. It
will have to be next Saturday, 2/2, or preferably 2/9, but I appreciate
that the owner has waited this long. The only potential bugaboo could be
the weather, but the cycle seems to be favorable at the moment.
Gentemen,
All of you have at one time expressed interest in all or part of this

Wasn't it possible to switch between ARC and SRM on many Alphas? As in
to overwrite one firmware with the other?

Dear Richard,
As soon as I saw this message my heart skipped a few beats, merely at the
_possibility_ that I might be able to share in some of this hardware.

If that's true, then I would expect Tru64 to have better support of
modern cryptographic ciphers than Linux. Carrying your analogy further,
