Dave FischerAlmost up... sun-3/280 booting but not mounting /home or allowing login yet... (Realized my server rack is of the exactly appropriate age. Ha ha.)
Jamie LuckIs a #sunmicrosystems 711 the perfect SCSI drive tester for spuds?! Accessing 12 drives at once is definitely a lot faster than 2 at a time in a V120
SiliciumAu début des années 90, RDI a eu une idée simple :
“Et si on mettait une SPARCstation Sun… dans un portable ?”
Résultat : le BriteLite SPARC Laptop Workstation avec CPU SPARC et Solaris.

occultFrom a 1991 SunExpert magazine article about “What’s to come” for network protocols. The article depicts a man traveling into the 2020’s, seemingly unaware of the chaos he’ll find.
He’s going to pass @prahou traveling back in time to 1991 to get some mint condition Sun workstations.
Leif SamuelssonI found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.
