[Info-vax] 100+ Alphaserver DS10s incoming and will be cheap

[David Turner]

Just update firmware to 7.3-1 (firmware not VMS)
That updates the board

Also to convert the DS10L to DS10 motherboard - call me and i will send 
instructions

Also people. I got a confirmation the servers are definitely on the high 
seas on their way to us in Savannah
So sometime before Xmas I was told they will arrive here. Once they get 
here, we will have to pay import duty and fees, shipping clearance etc.
We will simply divide the total by the number of servers (minus about 
10% for failures) and then we will have our cost.
Then we will price the servers according to that.  I am guessing 
something like $400 each but maybe less

> I missed this thread earlier.  My DS10 is actually a 466Mhz DS10-L mainboard transplanted into a DS10 case with DS10 riser (the DS10 mainboard failed badly), and an Islandco power supply.  It works fine except that it won't support the higher end video cards (machine just locks up and fails post).  Gig card and KZPEA cards, no problem, but I'd like to get a purpose made DS10 that will support the 4D20 or Powerstorm 300 PCI card.
