The Digital Server 5000 was designed to run Windows NT. Does anybody know how to configure the machine so I can install Tru64 Unix 4.0g?
 
I'm afraid that as the Digital Server 5000 is an Intel based system rather than an Alpha, you will not be able to use it with Tru64.
 
As I remember there is no server called the Digital Server 5000, but there is a Digital Server 5300 which is alpha-based but the CPU's are restricted for use on Windows only. Tru64 will panic with "unsupported system" when it load kernel. There is ways to get around this, but I can't tell you how.
The other server this could be is a Digital ZX5000 which is intel based and can not be used for Tru64.
