if you take a look at this site you can find the link to download personalAplha ;-)
http://jonesrh.info/dcll/dcll_why_i_use.html#VMS_Hobbyist_solutions

Also the Idleloop installer info if you'll need it - not recommended for non-hobyist configs tho.

I've used both FreeAXP and Charon (personal & official) and they run VMS fine. Have recently loaded Tru64 5.1B on FreeAXP but not had much time to play with it. Running on an i7 Windows-10 laptop I didn't notice any performance loss and the emulator performed fine. Can only run one instance of FreeAXP at a time though so cannot set up a cluster or have VMS & Tru64 both running simultaneously. Networking I can't comment yet as not bothered so far given the laptop isn't tethered to a network point, only using WiFi ATM.

regards
Dave

Not correct. Migration Specialties offers FreeAXP, which is a reduced performance Alpha.
I don't know if StromaSys still offers Personal Alpha or not.

Am I correct that none of the Commercial solutions offer a “Hobbyist” emulator for the DEC Alpha anymore?

No. SIMH Alpha is just the CPU, no system (motherboard) and no peripherals. It is not in a runnable state.

Alpha emulations are available commercially from multiple sources:
        Migration Specialties
        SRI (Charon)
        AVTware
        etc.

Subject: EXT :[Simh] Alpha under SIMH

We are on the verge of having to retire our AlphaStation XP1000. We have experimented with some of the commercial emulators, but based on very positive experience with the VAX emulation under simh are wondering if the AXP EV5 emulation that is hinted at on the simh web site is available and functional?
