  Personal Alpha Software

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

PersonalAlpha is the 32-bit introduction to a suite of 64-bit Alpha Virtualization Software products that Emulators International has available.

These products are available under the brand-names CHARON-AXP.

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.
