    Buying Vintage Computers

    Greetings! I am new to the form. I am a large scale collector of all things vintage computing. I'm looking for anything Windows 98 era or Apple 1999 and older and older monitors/accessories/software. I'm located in Northeast Ohio, but I travel the East Coast and Midwest buying old computers and accessories in large quantity. Please contact me if you have anything! My cell is 330-365-6296. -Ben

    Welcome to the forum.



    I have been toying with selling my Compaq ES40 Alphaserver. I have all drives bays loaded and it is complete. I have not been able to find anyone who can install an OS on it and right now it is just sitting here. PM me and I can get you pictures. It has been a labor of love for me, but I think it may be time for it to move along to another home, with another person who will cherish it as much as I have.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    There was a version of windows NT that ran on the alpha. I don't think installing it would be much different than any other version of NT. Since NT is now abandoned, it is available for download here:

    I would love to see you fire that old alphaserver back to life! Any questions feel free to PM me and I'll guide you through the install.
