As far as I know.  The machine they came out of ran VMS at the University
until they offered it to me (actually it was me or the cwdumpster).

> What's an AS3100?

I may have mis-typed.  I think it was an AlphaServer 2100.  I have so
many VS3100's I sometimes think the world is a 3100.  :-)

Don't know what an AlphaServer 1200 is.  They are PCI Cards.

If you are willing to pay for it I can probably ship pretty much
anywhere.  I am waiting for an address in England now to compute
the shipping cost for one card.  The rest are still unspoken for.
Email me with what cards you are interested in and include a
physical address so I can run it by UPS to see what the cost is.
Once I have that you can decide if it's worth it.  Stateside
is easy with the If-it-fits-it-ships program with the USPS but
overseas is more of a challenge.  At least customs shouldn't be
a problem as the the actual cost of the card is $20.  :-)
