I have a Digital Personal Workstation 600au for sale. Includes internal SCSI disks that boot to OpenVMS for Alpha (on DKA300) or alternatively the last CentOS Linux for Alpha (on DKA0). 1Gb RAM. Also, below the front CD-ROM drive, are pull-out removable trays for additional SCSI "data" disks (DKA100, DKA200, ...). External SCSI devices are also supported. Includes two ELSA Gloria Synergy 8Mb video PCI boards (up to 1920x1080 video resolution).
The 3.5-inch floppy disk drive does NOT work, and in fact is believed to have an internal short-circuit (the power-plug wires for the floppy drive appaer to have partially-melted insulation ... the floppy drive power is unplugged, and I do NOT recommend reconnecting power to this drive).
Does NOT include PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse. Contact me via e-mail to express your interest, request photos, or make an offer. Buyer may arrange for pickup in Los Angeles, CA, USA; otherwise buyer is responsible for shipping costs. If no interest here after a week or two, I will list it for sale on eBay.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
