In that case Timothy, welcome aboard.

P.S., what is the alpha system you currently own, because most Alpha
systems do run OpenVMS, but some systems were never officially supported.
I have several Alpha machines in my house:

    * AlphaServer 1000A 5/400 - this one is supported by OpenVMS.
    * Personal Workstation 600a - this one is not supported by OpenVMS,
      the IDE controller isn't supported, but with a SCSI controller
      like the KZPBA and SCSI CD player and some SCSI disks you're in
      business. You also may like some graphics. An old pci S3 card like
      the NumberNine should work.
    * Digital Alpha Multia - this one is not supported by OpenVMS but
      with some hacking and some drivers made by some hacking friends at
      Digital, it will run OpenVMS up to version 7.3. I never tried
      anything beyond that.
