I just picked up one of those today. I'm not sure of the date, but I think it
might only be 7.5-8 yrs old, making it slightly OT...
anyway, does anyone know anything about this box? All I've been able to find
out so far is that it was the first marketed SPARC64 machine, it was
technically very good, but was a total market failure. In other words, it's
obscure and weird, perfect for a classiccmp find ;) It's a sun-compatible box
-- I've fired it up with a serial console and I get a sun-ish OpenBoot prompt,
etc.
So, my question is, does anyone know more about this thing? Anyone have docs,
OS media (if it won't run normal solaris...not sure), or anything?
Thanks!
