Eep. your message popped up as spam, and at 9.9 points is the worst I've seen for a `real' message (though at least two of those points aren't your fault -- RATWARE pops up with the list, so I've had to knock down the number of points that scores. I might have to drop any checking of osirusoft relay lists.. they seem to be unreliable..). > SPAM: Content analysis details: (9.9 hits, 5 required) > SPAM: FROM_NAME_NO_SPACES (-0.1 points) From: no spaces in name > SPAM: RATWARE (2.0 points) Bulk email software fingerprints found in headers > SPAM: FORGED_RCVD_FOUND (0.0 points) Possibly-forged 'Received:' header found > SPAM: SUPERLONG_LINE (0.4 points) BODY: Contains a line >=199 characters long > SPAM: FROM_NAME_EQ_FROM_ADDR (2.6 points) 'From:' address also used as sender's real name > SPAM: RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM (2.0 points) RBL: Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com > SPAM: [RBL check: found 10.75.236.63.relays.osirusoft.com., type: 127.0.0.4] > SPAM: X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC (3.0 points) RBL: DNSBL: sender is Confirmed Spam Source Anywho.. > I have an AlphaServer 300 4/266 with no hard drive.

I think there must be a hard drive in there somewhere if you do. Otherwise, you're probably just seeing the prompt for the boot prom (Alphas and other non-Intel hardware have vastly more intelligent boot loaders than PCs). > I found a spec sheet for this model online, which says that the > internal scsi controller is a: fast narrow single edged scsi-2 > controller with dma > > The hard drives that could be ordered for this box were: > PBXRZ-EB 1.05 GB 8-bit narrow 5400 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI hard disk drive (RZ26N) > PBXRZ-JC 2.1 GB 8-bit narrow 7200 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI disk drive (RZ28L) > PBXRZ-NB 4.3 GB 8-bit narrow 7200 RPM 3.5 x 1" SCSI hard disk drive (RZ29L) If this box has an external SCSI connector, I think it'd probably be easier to dig up some random hard drive on eBay or someplace.
