Hey, Dwight!
The AS 2100 is by no means obsolete. In fact it is easily worth $200 on the
open market. From your description it sounds like you are getting into the
SRM console - look for the 3-chevrons command prompt.
The AS 2100 will run Linux, Tru64 Unix or NT (but only if you also have the
AlphaBios - test by invoking the "arc" command at the SRM prompt.)
If your machine has a raid controller, usually it will be a DEC version of
the Mylex DAC 960 XX, it would make a nice samba server. Parts are cheap on
eBay.
good luck
