Found an SS10 with a ZX card. Seller is asking USD 700. What happened to these people? Also, as expected, NVRAM is dead, so they are asking USD 700 for a machine that needs immediate computer surgery, both AUI and TP interfaces failing internal loopbacks (prolly NVRAM, not a dead LANCE chip – its register tests are passing) and no keyboard.
So the ZX is basically worthless without a Type 4/5 keyboard and it also needs a DB13W3-capable monitor
Seventeen years ago! I bought this multi-million dollar hoard of Sun servers from a scrap yard for $300. After testing, fixing, and swapping parts to max out some of them, I traded a couple for an SGI Onyx for the museum, a few more for parts of what eventually became my personal 16-proc Origin-2000, and kept two as compute servers for my film making.
(A maxxed-out E4000 has 14 x 400 Mhz UltraSparc II's, and 14 gig of ram (In 128meg sticks! Ha ha ha. Warm.)).
A shirt from the good old days, when corporate swag had high quality fabric with an embroidered logo. This one is a long-sleeved shirt with the Solaris logo.
Pulled out the old folio I keep next to the bed as I needed to sketch something.
Had forgotten this is an old #SunMicrosystems branded item.
Got to love the slogan:
We're the dot in .com™
It's best to not try and think about that concept too much I reckon.
OTD 1982 (44 years!): I join #SunMicrosystems as employee #8.
