Billed as “NT RISC: Windows NT on RISC machines. Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, Itanium.”, the exhibit demonstrates a lot of work in sourcing & restoring the machines. The exhibit features:
- DEC AXPpc 150 “Jensen” running Windows NT 3.1 AXP
- DEC PWS 500 “Miata”, running W2K axp64 (64bit!)
- DEC UDB “Multia”, running NT 3.51 AXP
- Motorola PowerStack, 4unning NT 4.0 PPC
- Motorola VME 1600 running NT 4.0 PPC
- NetPower Fast MP NT 4.0 running NT 4.0 MIPS
- DeskStation Tyne, running NT 4.0 MIPS
- 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.
Update: big thanks to @amarioguy and @ryaxnb for help during the exhibit!
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.
Yes sadly. Everything else single CPU. I should probably get a dual CPU Alpha, but I have too many alphas. Can you tell more about PPC Powerized MX and the Indigo prototype with NT support?
