Actually, I think I have a big bag of miscellaneous DS10 memory  
around here somewhere. Some of it is probably bad, but I'm sure  
there's some that's working. It'd get a machine booted, at the very  
least.

I'll see what I can find in my boxes of junk. I'll let you know.

I was going to put up at least the NT4 page myself. I actually  
installed it on my old AS200 a couple of years ago, for the fun of  
it. The Windows 2000 beta that was around for Alpha probably rates a  
mention too. I remember some discussion of it on the net somewhere.  
I'll go looking again before long.

I've only ever had the installation CD for NT4, although I did  
actually administer a couple of NT 3.51 Alpha domain controllers many  
years ago (1996, maybe?). It was actually the first time I ever  
touched an Alpha system. I remember I screwed them up totally at one  
point, because I did the upgrade to NT4 without updating the console  
firmware to the required version first. Ah, memories ...
