Not to reply to my own e-mail and go off-tangent, but ...

Since you have a shed full of Alphas, have you ever considered donating or
'loaning' (to be stewarded by others) your systems to an active, user
accessible, vintage museum/user group like VCF ( https://vcfed.org/ )?

P.S.  Maddog said he does indeed have the 4-disc, RHL7.2 for Alpha set,
although it's probably moot given the archive mirror post.  I really need
to pen out an article after talking to those with VCF and a few other
museums on how they approach this. This comes up too regularly in embedded
and other computer lists for me to ignore, especially non-Wintel platforms.
