My original Question:
> We need to urgently do some tests and evaluations on one of the following: DEC
> Alpha 3000 MODEL 400, 400s, (400AXP), 500s, 500AXP, 600AXP, 600s AXP, 800AXP,
> 800s AXP.
>
> Most likely a very short term rental would be sufficient, we possibly could
even
> do the tests at a nearby installation on a weekend...
> The problem is nobody seems to carry DEC Alpha computers for rental.
>
> If anybody has any possible sources please reply...
>
>
> P.S.: We also need Silicon Graphics and IBM RS6000 rentals sometimes.
