Visiting an #ewaste facility what did I find but these two #sparctember #suntember devices! One even has the #oracle #sunOracle logo on it.

I wish I could have taken better & more photos, written down the details of these but I was pressed for time last night – and was on a mission.

First was this Sun “blade’ SAS controller

My second #suntember post is this #SunMicrosystems #Sparcstation model 47 service code 4/50 #development case. Yes, you read that label right: "not for customer use"! This would normally have a #sparc processor in it, so worthy of #sparctember as well.

This is how I found the case, on the curb in #siliconvalley #sillyvalley a few years ago during spring cleaning week. I ended up trading this someone in the #vintagecomputing community at #vcfw for a #lenovo #thinkpad, #dockingStation, and some other accessories. I know they will enjoy the case more than I was, sitting in my garage unused & unseen.

Hey @aka_pugs what can you share about this find?
