That was originally my idea - that's why I need an open source Alpha emulator. I don't have my Pi set up right now, but considering es40 builds on RPi AXPbox should, too, at least on a 64-bit OS.
- zoomablemind 6y agoGreat work! Hope you can get any help with it from DECUS/VMSports folks. What's the choice of the 64-bit OS for RPi? I was about to try this with my vanilla RPi 3B+, just to realize it's 32-bit raspbian... BTW, VSI is readying x86 port of the OpenVMS [1], not sure how far would it maintain Alpha/IA version.

- lenticularis39 6y agoI used Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi 4 for the es40 testing. It's however quite possible that AXPbox will run on 32-bit Raspbian - I had problems with a PowerPC G4 (Freescale MPC7447A) CPU, but that is in addition to being 32-bit also big endian.
