The last two FAQ that I've seen (last is September 05) still show
IA-64 hibbyist as "soon", and "A hobbyist distribution for OpenVMS
I64 is expected."

I will leave discussions of this to Sue as part of her role in the hobbyist program. We're all rather busy with V8.3 and/or with the upcoming bootcamp, however.

Where can you get a cheap IA-64 to put VMS on?

I've seen HP Itanium-based boxes capable of booting OpenVMS I64 sell on eBay for under US$1000. (I've been tempted to buy one, but then I can get hand-me-down models from the office. :-) There is also the porting class, which includes an rx2620 as part of the US$2000 training. Whether you view these prices as affordable, of course, is obviously relative.
