After successfully repairing the SPARCstation 4, boot Solaris 8 from cdrom. I still have to fix the NVRAM. #sunmicrosystems #suntember #solais #sparcstation

got a #sparcstation with a dead nvram battery, or a missing keyboard or mouse?

Well ... my SparcStation 4 is fooling around with me. Freshly installed Sol2.6 on two different HDs ... installation went flawless like a charm.
But on reboot I get a raft of different error messages.
Any clues?

Here we have a @BlueSCSI courtesy of @onegeekarmy chugging away inside a #SparcStation 10!
I *think* I’m formatting it, but I’m never quite sure or confident when it comes to Solaris 😜

Went to #HayeonWye today (not been for well over ten years, so it was high time for a revisit).
Did I pick up a slim volume of love poems or a well worn tome by Dickens? I did not! My attention was diverted by these beauties... #TurboAssembler
Incidentally, anyone looking for a set of #SparcStation 1 (3 volumes) or #SCOOpenServer manuals (4 or 5 volumes, I forget), there is a set of each at the Booth bookshop: https://www.boothbooks.co.uk/
Not sure how often they recycle their stock, so hurry!

J'ai reçu le moniteur Eizo que j'avais trouvé à vraiment pas cher, il est comme neuf ! Je l'ai branché sur la SPARCstation 4 il fonctionne parfaitement.
Et en prime une petite vue de mon nouvel atelier (pas encore terminé) dédié à l'informatique rétro :-)

apparently i need #registry hax to use what #Apple calls #naturalScrolling in my Windows 11 VM.
but it's pretty slick that it's the ARM version of Windows 11 on AppleSilicon via UTM.
i had never used the UUP dumps before to build installation ISO images but i built a Windows 11 image for intel and ARM and it was pretty straightforward. i am also emulating a #sparcstation.
