@radicalabacus I’d pick it up myself if it wasn’t that far away. 🥺

Edit: I believe I have someone interested in the SPARCstation now, but feel free to register an interest if you like, I'll try to keep track. It makes me happy that there's so much interest in this nice old machine :)

Original post below:

Would you, or anyone you know, be interested in a free SPARCstation 20 and be able to collect it from the South of Scotland in early April? Some more details here: https://mackenga.ro/blog/2026/free-sparcstation-and-more/index.html

Boosts appreciated if you think someone downstream of you might want it.

@SamuraiSakura was using my old 2011 27’ iMac until six months ago when it started shutting off suddenly. I absolutely love that machine and would continue using it if I could fix it. Still haven’t given up on it. I also have a working 2010 MacBook Air 11 inch which works as a music control center.

@andy @_elena from Lyon we have managed to communicate with the extreme Germany, close to the triple frontier between Germany, Austria and Czechia. Its rock solid in terms of connectivity.

Y a-t-il des passionné.e.s d’anciens ordinateurs #Apple sur #Grenoble ? Je donne un #PowerMac G4 400MHz avec son écran cathodique. Il manque le disque dur et l’alimentation originale a été remplacée avec une alimentation de PC. J’avais monté un convertisseur DC/DC pour obtenir les 28V pour l’écran. C’est une très très belle machine, mais je ne l’utilise pas et elle prend trop de place chez moi. #retrocomputing EDIT : merci beaucoup ! L'ordinateur ira dans des excellentes mains !

@santi Nice! It seems the interest for Gopher is spiking again. Me too I’ve been playing with it recently.

(Update)

I have figured out it *might* be slightly dangerous to keep my Sparcstation 5 (which is inside my private home network) open to the internet so I transferred my gopher server to a more secure location: gopher://www.leosam.net

@wydow on a vu le capitaine fouisseur aussi de la région ARA: Lyon, Grenoble et environs. Ça nous a connecté à l’Italie, Suisse et l’Allemagne! Mon noeud count a dépassé 300 🫢

It would be great if we could run Venix on an emulated Rainbow. Though MAME doesn’t support booting a Rainbow machine from a hard drive OOtB, there is a workaround. #unix #cpm #dos #venix #digital #dec #digitalequipmentcorporation #rainbow #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #mame https://renaissancedork.com/venix-in-mame/
