Lots of people are running RISC-V, so this definitely isn't true any more. It was true at a time, but not any longer. OTOH, I run the only 1U VAX in the world

OTOH, I run the only 1U VAX in the world (http://vlc.zia.io http://vlc.zia.io), and if anyone else were running anything similar, I'd have heard about it. Still waiting :)
- louwrentius 4y agoWould be cool to have some more context about the machine itself, it's history and the machine it's attached to through serial.
- johnklos 4y agoPerhaps I'll have to make a HN post just for that some time :)
- louwrentius 4y agoLooking forward to it!
- neilv 4y agoNice! I wouldn't have guessed one could fit a VAXstation into that short-depth of a 1U. How do you cool it? (I normally see that Supermicro chassis model used for Atom boards designed to run fanless.)
- johnklos 4y agoThe VAXstation itself doesn't take much power and therefore doesn't generate too much heat. The power supply moves a small amount of air by virtue of its fans, but not much. It was tested and runs fine in a room at ambient temperature (72º), fully closed, with no external airflow. Because of this, it should never have issues where it's colocated because the datacenter has positive pressure cooling.
