NVRAM von der #sparcstation 20 repariert. Mir ist da ein kleiner Fehler passiert. Aber nichts, was sich nicht fixen lässt.
Aber am Ende funktioniert es.

Erstmal Solaris 9 auf die #sparcstation 5 installieren. Der NEC MultiSync EA221WM ist echt Gold wert. Kann 15kHz und das Signal des 13w3 Framebuffers. #retrocomputing #retro #sun #sparc

NVRAM von meiner zweiten #sparcstation 5 gefixt. Weiß nicht, warum man die Dinger nicht gleich mit einem CR2032 Sockel aus gestattet hat. #sun #retrocomputing #retro

Die #SparcStation 5 läuft mit #SunOS 5.9 aka #Solaris9. Die Installation hat zwar was 3h gedauert. Aber so kommt zusammen, was zusammen gehört. #retrocomputing #retro #sun

#SUN #SparcStation 5 in liebevolle Hände abzugeben. Der Preis ist VB. #retrocomputing #retro #fleamarket #flohmarkt

Trying to remember a unix gag from the early 90s. You could send a command to someone else's terminal and a little guy would appear on screen and slowly push the whole thing off your monitor. If you knew what was up, you could kill the process, but if not, you'd be locked out. I'd swear this was called "Ferkle", but I can't find anything mention of this anywhere. This was on a Sun SPARCstation, I believe.

Anyone?

The #sparcstation lives! It's been nearly a decade. Not sure why I can't get a console in my regular user account, but that's the least of my worries. Is there a way to use Sun OpenLook without a mouse? #sun4m #retrocomputing #retrounix

The console complains of an XNeWS network security violation, "rejected connection from blort" (itself.)

Flashback: How I used an old #Sun #SPARCstation running #OpenBSD as mail server

Slowly getting nearer to maxing out my SPARCstation 10 RAM. Now 6x 64MB - 2 to go ..

If you have some cool ideas about what to do with the #SPARCstation 5 ler me know!

I could also save the computer that went with the keyboard, an #IBM PS/2 model 30 with a screen that seems to be monochrome. I could not resist saving also a #SUN #SPARCstation 5, that I found there. I don’t know if they work, and they stayed one night under heavy rain. I will check them also to remove #batteries. #retrocomputing

Loving the days when I get the IPX Up and running (scheduled function test any 6 months)

Here is another #retrocomputer #vector #illustration that we created with 100% #FreeSoftware. While #Inkscape was perfect for #SVG, all reference images been prepared with #Krita. Most fun part was to work with #LPE live path effects on the #SUNcomputers logo design.

Even when the #SUN #sparcstation with #Solaris #OS was much more powerful, the multi-color logo was obviously inspired by #applecomputer and the #3D effect by their competitor #silicongraphics.

However, this video is all about bringing a #sparc #classic #workstation #ISP back to life...
