History and other comments

This DECstation computer has been customized to fit into a standard PC ATX enclosure. If such a project interests you, please go here.*Pinout updated*

The motherboard is from a DECstation 5000/125 with a broken power supply unit and the CPU was acquired separately. The other parts came from various places. The amount of installed memory has changed since I captured that bootlog, in case you are wondering.
