I walked into Rogers 333 Bloor & entered our lab in time to see plane #2 hit the second tower.
The morning was a very big meeting with Toronto #SunMicrosystems interrupted by the towers collapsing.
#Sun staff rushed to contact friends & colleagues from their NYC office.
In #WTC
Later that day I watched combat air patrol over downtown Toronto.

The Sun SPARCstation IPX! It's so small, I've decided to give it a name: 'Pocket-Sized SPARC'!

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

66 followers · 565 posts · Server mastodon.tal.orgWouldn't it be fun if someone would remake a #Sun2 or #Sun3 with modern components as people seem to do of just about every toy system these days.
Even the schemas and PAL code is out there, afaik, so should be fairly easy ? Or ?

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a SPARCserver 1000E!

You have gazed into the hypnotic depths of the SPARCcenter 2000E, and now you're on a mission: Going back to 1997 to snag one of these bad boys!

Remember the tool for installing UltraSPARC-II modules in Ex000 series system boards?
**EX00X CPU Module Preset Torque Screwdriver
Preset to 6 in lbs.

The system boards & sbus cards from a Sparcserver-1000 (1994). Eight CPUs, up to 2 gig of ram, and tons of I/O. This was my home computer for a few years in the early 00's. Incredible workhorse. (I had no problem getting a linear speedup on my jobs with all 8 processors.)

64 followers · 556 posts · Server mastodon.tal.orgThe only tiny issue with those #m68k Suns is that they haven't seen power in almost 20 years. And I'm scared to even try. But the #Sun2 did boot at the time I got in 2004.

This badge on my Sun2/120 is cool, signatures of all the people that assembled, tested and inspected it.
Anyone you might know @aka_pugs ?

My favourite video connector, aside from SCART, is 13w3. It's a gorgeous mashup of a DB25 footprint mixed with VGA and coax all in the same connector.
