Alpha XDK I

I have had this unit sitting for almost a decade. Still works, too.

Glad to see you come around here Still curious what you wanted for it.

 

always when I see the Crystal (I got early press discs where they have pics of retail Units with this crystal) I am kinda sad that these weren't used later.....

Nice Kit though, wishI had some money left, just got a lot of other stuff though -.-

 

yea i have been doing a little research on it and made my way to this site, its pretty cool. glad that i got to own it, but have moved in the way of repairs now. i came across that link for the unit that sold on ebay for about 700usd. but i assume the ebay unit had the hard drive which i do not.

i have had it sitting in my basement for almost a decade. its pretty to look at and a cool factor for owning it, but i figure a developer or collector will appreciate it more than i do.

the case is magnificent though

 

Like I said on X-S, just let me know what you are looking to get for it. Not having the harddrive (and knowing if it can be restored easily) makes it a bit tougher heh.

 

I sent you a pm. BTW mine has 256mb i thought most had 128mb.

A member wanted the pic. If anybody else wants it.

 

does that say powered by direct X

 

wauw, Thx for the logo and still selling it ?

 

sure thing, and yes i have decided to let it go for some dough

 

Today my new hdd for the alpha1 arrived. But i have the same problems like before. On recovery screen it stops when the file-transfer starts:


I test it with different memorys (2x64MB) and other HDD...
Anyone idea whats wrong? Board faulty :banghead:?
Or is it the recovery? AlphaII recovery cant be used for the AlphaI?
edit: after 20 reboots the recovery finished, but it looks like something is wrong with the ide bus.
I changed the ide cable but... creazy

 

try set fixed "master" ide pin on your alpha HDD

 

It is jumped to Master, CD-Drive Slave, both on same cable.
But thanks, i sell the tower now...

 

And I know Ive asked before, but youve tried Svideo, correct? I know my system defaulted to Svideo NTSC after a recovery, regardless of the fact that I used VGA for the recovery process.

 

I test with VGA and SVHS. Stops after the "Starting up..." in the upper left.

 

Would like to have 1 soon or later but scary me to pick up a faulty or non complete machine tho..
