You're kidding! Is there still Alpha LSI around! That was the first
real computer I put my hands on and PHEEEW that was fun! We had two
TeleType terminals and a VDU plus a cardreader (which was quite funny
because you could actually control the whole computer from the
cardreader!!!). But the best part of it: When we went on holiday (1
1/2 month) we didn't save out programs (on paper punch tape) because
when we returned the ferrit rings still contained our programs!

But back to your origional question: If I can find the student who got
the machine after we got some more up to date computers we may have a
deal because I don't think he use it anymore - BUT YOU PAY the
TRANSPORT!  :-)

Yours sincerely
