[Cialug] Old^H^H^H Ancient Hardware

[John Lengeling]

Fans on old equipment are easy to replace, just get the
make/model/voltage/physical size from the dead fan and look up a
replacement from DigiKey.

I would also recommend the Sun Rescue mailing list.   It isn't just
Sun's that are rescued but pretty much any old hardware.   Lots of parts
trading goes on the list.

So, we've got a DEC Alpha 4100 that just lost it's CPU fan.

1) Would anyone on this list happen to have a 12-49995-01 kicking
around?

2) Would anyone on this list happen to have a processor card or three
that are compatible with the Alpha 4100?

3) Would anyone on this list happen to have an old VAX or Alpha laying
about doing nothing buy causing your spouse/SO to complain every time
they see it?

4) Would anyone on this list care to prove these guys wrong (
http://64.223.189.234/node/640 ) by virtualizing OpenVMS in VMWare
or Xen?

5) Would anyone on this list like to make fun of me for making this
request shortly after extolling the virtues of legacy gaming systems on
Linux?  :)
