Red Hat 7.2 media for Alpha?

[Marco Benton]

Most of the Alphas I have are the not-so-common boards I acquired from 
working at a DEC engineering site eons ago.

 From what I remember, i think I still have a few Multia's, 164SX boards 
(no case), 164RX (Windows NT only), a Jensen, a AlphaStation 400, a 
DEC3000 i think... the rest are StorageWorks and Ultrix boxes.

So nothing I have is really worth anything or salvageable since they've 
been in the shed outside for decades now.  yes, i know, shame.

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.
