@Padski - I have put one of the SB1000's in the space with your name
on it, by the arcade game in the foyer

The VGA extenders are in the 'useful for the space' box - I will keep
a lookout for more of them as we empty out yet more of the office and
save them from the bins


I will try to bring the second SB1000 along later today.

Since there seems to be an unexpected demand for old Sun SPARC  kit
can I interest anyone in some others that I have:
 * Sun Netra X1 - small 1RU, half length
 * Sun Ultra 10 workstation - PC sized box with IDE disks.  They were
originally sold with 10-40G disks but I discovered that they will take
upto 120G OK
 * Sun Ultra 5 workstation - same mobo as the Ultra 10 in a different
form factor and fewer expansion slots
 * Sun Ultra 2 - old sbus workstation - quite nicely engineered for
it's day but more or less all proprietary components
 * Sun E420 4RU server - quad processor but not as power hungry as the
SB1000s
 * Sun D1000 SCSI storage array - 12 slot takes hot plugable SCA disks
 * Sun A5200 FC-AL storage array - 22 slot Fibre Channel disks and 4
GBICs.  Can be split into 2 separate 11 slot storage arrays.


I haven't powered up any of this stuff for a couple of years now but
did use them for some serious stuff when I was a contractor
They will all look quite pedestrian by more recent systems


Simon
