I have a 300 LX, but with only 48 MB of memory.  I actually ran 7.3-2 on 
it for a while, though I didn't install it there (installed it elsewhere 
and swapped the disk).  Maybe more memory is needed for the installation 
than for running?  In any case, with TCPIP running, the 48 MB (much 
lower than the supported minimum for 7.3-2) was too little memory.

Nice box.  Probably the smallest ALPHA ever made.  Will connect to those 
nice VAXstation monitors with the 3 big pins.
