PersonalAlpha for Windows freeware

The PersonalAlpha software lets you run your Alpha/OpenVMS software on a standard Personal Computer. Imagine running your VMS and Tru64 programs on your notebook and office or home PC. Develop, test and run OpenVMS/Tru64 applications wherever you are.

PersonalAlpha can be installed on personal computers that run Windows XP. It offers 128 MB of emulated Alpha memory, 1 Ethernet adapter, VT-terminal emulation and 4 disks. Minimum system requirements: PC or notebook with Intel or AMD processor (at least 1 GHz), 1 GB of memory is advised for proper system performance (512 MB will run with performance penalty), 1 Ethernet adapter and 4 GB of free disk space.

PersonalAlpha is a hobbyist product for personal use and may not be used for commercial applications. It does not include OpenVMS or Tru64 licenses or the operating system itself. We advise you to use your hobbyist license for this purpose. After installing the operating system of your choice and applying your licenses you are ready to run.

PersonalAlpha is freeware and available from this website.

Full function 64-bit Alpha Virtualization software is available for commercial systems.
