vamsidhar,

welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.

The CHARON-AXP or PersonalAlpha for Windows are commercial products.

You can download PersonalAlpha for Windows, but it requires you to buy and register a license, once the 5 day trial period has expired:

Vamsidhar,

If you search the net you can find Alpha systems from various sources (resellers and sale on ebay) with reasonable price with good very good config and performance.

As per Jan suggestion, it is depend on your needs; if it is for education purpose, you can find couple of emulators (mentioned in the above postings), but if it is for any business purposes, I would suggest to go for inexpensive Alpha system and your applications could be ported to even Itanium/openVMS system if your require in the future.
