| Sun Sparcstation IPC (4/40) computer from 1990 | |
| CPU: | SPARC @ 25MHz |
| RAM: | 36Mb |
| Hard Drives: | 500MB SCSI |
| Floppy Drives: | 3-1/2" HD |
| Video: | Onboard bwtwo, optional cgthree (SBUS) installed |
| Display: | 19" RGB |
| Ports: | 2 serial, keyboard, AUI, SCSI, monochrome video, audio |
| OS: | NetBSD 2.0 |
| ROM: | version 1.6 |
| Notes: | I had to replace the NVRAM chip because the internal Lithium battery died, just like it has on all IPCs of this age. Mouser sells them for $16, and there's excellent documentation on how to bring a dead Sun back to life in this FAQ. I loaded up NetBSD 2.0 on this system - it's nice to see BSD again! |
