I got hold of these gems a while ago :-) no screen but with vga converter cable.

I think I'm going in the direction of NetBSD

Suggestions on possible projects?

#sunmicrosystem #sparc

Doing some work here today, and needed a hat, so dug through the pile and pulled out this one. Dating myself...

#SunMicrosystem #OldTech

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?

My first post for #suntember is this #SunMicrosystems #Developer connection beanbag. I picked this up via #freecycle from a prior #Sun employee who scored it at a #java #developers conference of theirs. It is in almost perfect condition but for two spots on the bottom of the beanbag, near the zipper. I ended up gifting this to an individual in the #vintagecomputing community a couple of weeks ago at #vcfw.

I know they will enjoy it more than I was, sitting in my garage unused.

Whoa, I just realized it is #suntember !!

Time to start posting & tagging your #sunmicrosystems #sunmicrosystemsinc #sunmicrosystem finds from last year, or just repost what you posted last year 😁
