So I infer that the AlphaServer 400 4/233's that are
easily available here at nearly no cost [*] are not
considered useful given the workload required of a
buildd, even if several were available?
[*] Nearly free = US$80@, maybe less in quantity, with
OpenVMS loaded -- which is less than the case, memory,
power-supply and QIC2 tape are worth as salvage?
