I purchased this machine from someone in Auckland along with another AlphaStation 200 (Jupiter) and an AlphaServer 800 (Mars). It has the following installed:
This machine arrived in good condition but was missing its key (the case was not locked). This is the less-configured of the two AlphaStation 200s (less RAM, smaller hard disk, slower CD-ROM drive). Unlike the other, its reset button is actually a reset button. Its speaker is connected to the soundcard which means external speakers are not required. There are no volume control buttons so this must be done from software.
Currently this machine is being used to test OpenVMS networking. Once this has completed it will likely be moved to Linux perhaps dual-booted with Windows NT.
Below is the configuration of the machine as it currently is.
