Squeeee!!!
I use a #SunMicrosystems type 7 #keyboard on my #Mac. It's a very nice keyboard. But I remember the type 6 being a bit better. And I just found one for sale on ebay!
Almost 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.)
Is 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

“Et si on mettait une SPARCstation Sun… dans un portable ?”
Résultat : le BriteLite SPARC Laptop Workstation avec CPU SPARC et Solaris.

From 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.
