Digital Equipment Corporation

Digital Equipment Corporation (aka DEC) built many systems from a variety of architectures during their history. At this stage I have a number of Alphas, VAXen and IBM-PC compatbiles.

Alpha systems

Aside from a few bad Dalls RTC/NVRAM chips the Alphas are mostly fine. Only four machines are currently known to have issues:

VAX systems

The VAXen are in a somewhat worse state than the alphas - probably in part due to their age, and part due to the awful idea of using rechargable NiCd batteries for keeping time. Only the VAXstation 3100 m30 is known to work right now, the TEMPEST one should also work too but I don't have most of the required cables to operate it:

PCs

Digital also sold a line of PC Clients and Servers the last of which were retired sometime between February and 20 April 1999. I currently have the following machines in my collection:
