hi Wilko, the DCG box is an alpha clone, there seem to be a number of variations. I have 3U or 5U (not sure of the exact designation) versions, but the DCG boxes SEEM to be repackaged, obviously lower cost but still very good quality UP1000, UP2000, and other motherboard based boxes. rack mount. I would call them industrial strength alphas, not the same color as the equiv dec/paq boxes, but the same performance. I am not sure of diffs in the bios/srm/what ever variations but I have seen them running free, net, redhat, vms, DU/Tru... One box I have has the 164 LX mobo, no video, scsi car, boots and runs free 4.2, running 3 drives in it right now, 22GB or so, I have to check mem, I think it is about 512MB. The other is the UP2000 based box, running 56GB scsi drives, 1GB ram, dual 264 cpus, running netbsde 1.4.2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
