Ok, I just had someone hand me an Alpha 2100 4/233 without any CDs (or anything other than the box, for that matter). I have a few questions: 1.> Are the peripherals standard (keyboard, monitor, mouse)? The ports look standard. I can't get the Compaq/HP sites serial# search to work, so I haven't been able to get the info from there. 2.> It has what looks like a standard IEC cord connector on the PS, but there is no sticker (it may have been peeled - there are remnants). Any way to tell if this is 120VAC other that trial and error (it's the 'error' I'm worried about)? 3.> I'll need to boot single user, with no root password. Can I even do this without the CD? I'm guessing that it's running OSF/1, but I did notice that the filesys is listed on the outside of the box as BSDsomething, so I could be wrong. 4.> It comes with 3 SCSI RZ28M-VA drives. Does anyone know what size these are? That's it. Any help would be appreciated. Grant M.
