Back when I was at uni and couldn't afford anything and looked at LCs and Quadras and liked their shape, I used to use sun workstations. I have no idea which ones they were, or even which OS we were all logged into, it was so long ago... but they were pizzaboxes, they had purple on them, and loads of holes.

Isn't it, just? quote: Back when I was at uni and couldn't afford anything and looked at LCs and Quadras and liked their shape, I used to use sun workstations. I have no idea which ones they were, or even which OS we were all logged into, it was so long ago... but they were pizzaboxes, they had purple on them, and loads of holes. Well, pizza boxes with purple feet would mean they were at least Sun-3's. If by loads of holes you mean dimples on the front, they were most likely Sun 3/80's, or SPARCstation 1, 1+ or 2 models. They were most likely running SunOS or Solaris (whic is SunOS, rebadged). quote: Must find me one someday, when I've fulfilled the quadra obsession :) Yeah, right... Like that's gonna happen... They go pretty cheap, these days. The trick is to know where to look. Befriend a sysadmin at the local university, they sell off whole labs full of 'em at fair prices. That's how I got most of mine (except the Voyager). In fact, the two SPARCstation LX's I own, used to be in the very lab where I did my programming assignments at university. They have the label on the bottom to prove it. quote: That is really cool. I haven't seen a case design that cool since the 6xxx series. I'm kinda partial to the lunchbox chassis (IPC/IPX/SPARCclassic/SPARCstation LX), too. I haven't decided yet which one I find more attractive. The lunchboxes look weird (and awkward) with a monitor perched on top, but they make killer servers (Petrvz.net, my friend's site, is hosted on a SPARCstation IPX. See my PHP dabbling at jvdg.petrvz.net). quote: quote: Alien if you want I can give you a copy of NextStep for your Sun Boxes The only machine that would work on out of Alien's list is the Sparc 5, IIRC. It won't run on any of the 68ks nor any of the Ultras. The only one it will run on is the SPARCstation 4, actually. My SPARCstation 5 is an oddball, since it is the 170 MHz version, with a TurboSPARC CPU instead of a SuperSPARC CPU. This causes slight problems with alternative OS's. Although I have heard that installing an OS on a SuperSPARC SS5 and then transfering it to a TurboSPARC machine works for Linux/SPARC at elast, so that might work for NeXTSTEP, too. But I have an AFX (accelerated) framebuffer coming in the mail for the SS5, and there's no way in hell NeXTSTEP will support that. The Voyager, BTW, is pretty much a SPARCstation 5 in a luggable package, and I have seen reports that NeXTSTEP will actually install on it, but, again, the framebuffers used in the Voyagers are non-standard and cause video problems. Pity. NeXTSTEP/SPARC only runs on SPARCstation 4, SPARCstation 5 (70, 85 and 110 MHz), and single-CPU SPARCstation 20. ,xtG .tsooJ -- who \| grep -i blonde \| date cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount sleep

If you are searching in Europe, I have found that Germany and the UK are good places to find Sun stuff. ,xtG .tsooJ -- who \| grep -i blonde \| date cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount sleep
Commodore64 Starting Member Sweden 47 Posts	Posted - 06 Dec 2003 : 04:59:44 Yeah, have been checking eBay but found the shipping a bit too expensive so I'm mostly searching for one here in Sweden. Still, might have to go with that since it seems hard to find one here.
Alien Junior Member Netherlands 269 Posts	Posted - 09 Dec 2003 : 03:41:41 Shipping within Europa isn't all that expensive, especially when you are willing to take your time and go for surface shipping. And to cut down on costs, you can have the seller remove harddrives to save weight. Suns use standard SCSI HDs, you can probably get them locally for less than the added shipping cost. Don't have a seller remove RAM, though; SUn RAM can be hard to come by (and costly) for certain models. (The SPARCstation 20 is one of them.) ,xtG .tsooJ -- who \| grep -i blonde \| date cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount sleep

Gotta look for a SS20 here in europe then! Thanks.

If it has a hard drive, I'd leave it in because it won't take too much weight off, and you'd know that it'll work when you get it. just my 0.02$ though Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
