I purchased this machine from someone in Auckland along with another AlphaStation 200 (Saturn) and an AlphaServer 800 (Mars). It has the following installed:
This machine arrived in good condition but its case was locked and was missing its key. This required the removal of the case lock in order to gain access to the inside. More details can be found on the AlphaStation 200 page. This is the better-configured of the two AlphaStation 200s (more RAM, larger hard disk, faster CD-ROM drive). Its front reset button is configured as a halt button and its speaker is connected to the motherboard instead of the soundcard.
For a time this machine was part of a two node OpenVMS cluster with the other AlphaStation 200 but in 2023 it was used under Windows to do Alpha NT builds of Kermit 95. The much faster AlphaServer 800 5/500 I got with this machine now performs this job and this AlphaStation 200 is now just my "Alpha Workstation that can run NT 3.5x".
Below is the configuration of the machine as it currently is.
