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.)).

The Format never took off & production was changed to CD in ‘86

These Test Discs are really rare

VHD was developed by JVC Victor, Japan. Having been shown CED by RCA, they walked away & developed a version that actually worked. It’s remarkably good
