Alpha 2100

[Demon]

Hello,

The company I work for have just very kindly given me one of they're old
alpha 2100s that they no longer require.  Its currently running Digital
Unix, but realistically, I would like to remove this and install FreeBSD (Or
for that matter any other "Free" BSD version of UNIX). What options do I
have with this machine.  I have checked out a few web sites that say that
this model should be supported, but problems could occur, especially where
RAID controllers are concerned.  The hardware spec is as follows:-

Alpha 2100 4/200 E4
Dual processors (190Mz)
500MB Ram
Mylex DAC960P Raid Controller (EISA)
NCR SCSI Controller

I have also managed to "liberate" one of the RZ type SCSI disks that was
attached to the RAID controller, and removed it from its stupid plastic
enclosure, and attach it directly to the SCSI controller, which worked fine,
so if all else fails, at least I can install the OS on that, and figure out
the rest later on.

If anyone cam give me some useful advice. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Mark Gary
