A number of years ago I had an AlphaServer 2100 running Tru64 that just 
died. It worked fine one day and the next day started displaying fault 
codes on the front LCD (IIRC). I never managed to work out what they meant 
although I suspected a CPU board fault. I later gave the machine to a 
friend to cannabilise for parts (he's a heavy VMS user and was able to 
salvage some of the parts).

IIRC it was a 4/200, with a pair of EV4 CPUs, 512MiB RAM and half a dozen 
2GiB SCSI drives. It had the pedestal chassis.

Cheers, MJ
