Billed as “NT RISC: Windows NT on RISC machines. Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, Itanium.”, the exhibit demonstrates a lot of work in sourcing & repairing the machines along with some great rare example like
- DEC AXPpc 150 Jensen NT 3.1
- DEC PWS 500 Miata W2K axp64
- DEC Multia NT 4.0
- Motorola PowerStack NT 4.0
- NetPower Fast MP NT 4.0
- MVME 1600 NT 4.0
- DeskStation Tyne NT 3.1
- DeskStation Raptor Reflex
And yes, we’ve even had a few celebs pass by!
Tenox will be there all day Saturday at the The Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA, 1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043.
H’es located at tables 37-38, exhibit 16.
Nice to see all these workstations in one place. Did any of the former Microsoft employees comment on these?
I hope we get a transcript on the comments.
Was the NetPower MP the only Multiprocessor of the RISC PC exhibition?
Hopefully someday a PPC Powerized MX (the only known OpenFirmware driven PPC compatible with NT) can join the collection. That one or the legendary Indigo prototype which could boot NT.
