Cleaned the SPARCStation 10 I acquired from a friend cleaning his house. Unfortunately it needs examination and some repair before I go turning it on.
Also the hard drive blew up at some point.

When you specifically request the Pope Room and not a single person at the table is Catholic let alone Christian.
So Intel didn’t fully make sure that CMOVs don’t get through the compiler in the GCC patch, which is why LLVM is blowing up in the first few seconds of building.
So now GCC needs to be fixed up.
I’m not friggin paying for ICC.
Perfect timing for the start of the new year. @danidonovan’s (I don’t know if this is her, but same username over on the Bird Site) The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don’t Feel Like It just arrived on my doorstep.
My executive dysfunction thanks you…
This thing has a mSATA port just chilling. So it’s supposedly entirely self-contained. Likely using the capacitors to handle flushing any data to disk if the lights go out. If I had a guess, it’s for an environment where it’s super critical no data is ever lost in-flight.
Need see if I can find some documentation. I’m going to start tagging wires onto the UART and see what happens after I eat a food.
I don’t know what this does but it was $30, has the word Accelerator in it and is strapped with a mess of super-capacitors, has a UART header, LEDs that dont really tell you anything important, 8GB of RAM, and what looks like an Ethernet port.
Also I turned the machine off at the mains and the card is still powered, so it uses those caps as a UPS for a really good reason.
It’s the SimpliVity OmniCube Accelerator.

Unit acquired from I can only assume a nice little old lady in NH. I now have more grocery store plastic bags from places I haven’t shopped sitting in a very used USPS box labeled “Pictures Glass!”, wrapped in paper grocery bags.
The ends are completely sheared off, it looks like the grandkid(s) sideswiped this thing out of the TV, both RCA center conductors are sheared off from a blow to the side. That’s fine cause those are going to be replaced entirely, but I jammed a ferrule on the end of the video one and plugged it into the CRT to see if it works, and it does!
The board inside looks to be a revision 2 and legitimate so it can be modded with the cartridge slot. So now I have to sit and ponder how to go about building this. #FlashRack2
