Talk:AlphaServer

What command fo you use to use a trace route on an alpha system to another host.

It seems AlphaServer 200 did not exist. Is the AS 400 Mustang or rather Chinet/Avanti? Also there seem to be 2 memory options for AS 400 4/166: up to 192 and up to 384. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GL1zdA (talk • contribs) 16:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

No, the AlphaServer 200 does exist, as evidenced by this old post at a newsgroup by Digital's PR: [1]. As for the AlphaServer 400 4/166, they were based on the AlphaStation 400 4/166, which does support 384 MB of memory with larger SIMMs. Rilak (talk) 06:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

But at least here [2] is written it supports only 192 MB, but a year later [3] it's 384 MB. Is it because the mainboard changed, or simply Digital didn't want to sell systems with larger memory? --GL1zdA (talk) 09:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Most likely the capacity of the memory modules had increased. One thing I've noticed about Digital was they had a habit of specifying the minimum and maximum memory capacities based on the capacity of the memory modules available at that time, not what the systems actually support.

References for the codename for the AlphaServer 400 differ; this list has it as "Mustang S", but this message asserts that it shared the Avanti/Chinet codename with the AlphaStation 400. Letdorf (talk) 09:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC).

Central Office AlphaServers

There is another line of AlphaServer - NEBS Level 3-certified models for use in Central Offices. So far, I have confirmed the AlphaServer 4100CO, DS10CO and the AlphaServer TS Series, which includes the TS20 and TS40. The line actually goes a bit further, with HP selling two more models before Alpha was discontinued, the TS10L and TS15? Does anyone have any info to share?

Wildfire introduction date questioned

This article reports that the Wildfire line introduced in 2002, but an email to the sparc-linux mailing list suggests that 256 GB Wildfire machines were in operation as early as September 2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.193.43 (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that appears to be incorrect, the GS320 seems to have been announced shortly before September 2000 [4] and the GS80 at the beginning of November 2000 [5]. Letdorf (talk) 09:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC).
