SPARCstation SLC - the 1990 iMac
ordered a new run of #usb3sun boards. should be back in stock later this month!
Got my capture setup dialed in. I can record pixel-perfect from my Sun SPARCstations now.
Can't seem to get Solaris to install on this Sparcstation 1 with a BlueSCSI. Keep getting this error when it tries to create the root filesystem.
I'm always more interested in retro networking and telecoms than retro gaming. And this is just that. ISDN on a SparcStation 10!

Continued thread
My capture devices don't seem to be capable of properly handling the output of my SparcStation 5 running OPENSTEP 4.2. It cuts off like 10 or 20 pixels vertically. I decided to just let it cut off the bottom so I don't lose menu stuff at the top of the screen.

Ran across this going through my old stuff. The pre-pre-pre-release docs for the SPARCstation-2 (Calvin). Was given to us lowly techs who were destined to debug them coming off the manufacturing line. When I started at Sun, I was a lowly failure analysis technician, the good jobs went to Stanford grads, DeVRY grads needed to come in through the back door. Eventually made my way into engineering and then SunLabs (where the real party was).

The lights of a @BlueSCSI hanging out inside a Sun #SparcStation.
Now that the house is a bit less full again, let’s see if we can get this puppy working properly!
