FreeBSD testdrives on a new XP1000 EV6.7
January 04, 2000

The Compaq Testdrive program is now making testdrives available of the the 
latest 4.0-20000101-CURRENT running on an Alpha XP1000 EV6.7. This program 
is free of charge. 
This Alpha system is running at 667MHz and is loaded with two gigs of ram. 
To get a shell account all you need to do is register at 
http://www.testdrive.compaq.com. No funny business of any kind. Our goal is 
to make this brand new system available to developers so they can test, 
build, port, their apps on the worlds fastest computer. 
We also have several other systems running FreeBSD to include: 
Proliant 5500 dual Xeon 450MHz and a DPW500a
