hi
i want to install tru64 Unix on my personal computer. i want to use an emulator that simulate "hp alpha server" and installing tru64 using it.
please suggest me a program that can provide this capability, like the "charon AXP" that run related firmware on windows. but i want know other options that exist in this field.
I'm not aware of any free/open-source project that emulates ALPHA on
PC ... there's two commercial products I've heard of, but I can't
recall their names. Did you try googling for "ALPHA 64bit emulator"?

i think that you are meaning CHARON AXP and REVIVER-ALPHA
i have downloaded charon but can't reach to REVIVER-ALPHA trial version.

1. Tru64 is designed to run on Alpha systems. Considering QEMU support of different platforms I find out that Tru64 is not supported. See here http://www.claunia.com/qemu/index.php?case=1
2. the same reason is with solaris sparc. I don't find any reason to run solaris compiled to run on sparc emulated on PC hardware...
To run Tru64 I will try CHARON-AXP or REVIVE-ALPHA.
Hi friends. I try VIRTUAL SIMICS. that works properly. i have installed sparc solaris on it. and it works very fine. i'll buy it as soon as possible. i love simics. It supports very larg number of hardware components and emulate anything that may be occur to the mind.
