Cool!
I seem to have a growing collection of old and
obsolete gear and I have a
lot of fun with it. [...]
Having fun is important! :-)
I have three VAXen (a VAXstation 4000/60 with 32 MB
RAM running OpenBSD 4.0,
I've got a 4000/300 running VMS something. I need to back up its
system drive and then I was thinking of putting OpenVMS on it. I
still need to get the hobbyist CD...
a VAXstation 3100/unsure :) that's undeployed, and
a
VAX 4000/100 that's also undeployed), a couple of Suns (a Sparcstation 20
with dual Ross HyperSparc 180 MHz processors and 288 MB RAM running NetBSD
3.1, and an Ultra 1/170E with 640 MB RAM running Debian Stable), a Commodore
128, a few Commodore 64s, two Commodore VIC-20s, and some obsolete i386
stuff too. :)
I've got a Sun 3/110 and a SPARCstation 5 that I need to put through a
checkout procedure, but haven't done anything yet.
I have a CBM 8032 that's probably the start of all my vintage madness ;-).
I've written a few little basic programs for it and stored them on the
8052 floppy. I'm trying to get a FORTH deployed on it so that I can
make it do something a little more interesting than running
interpreted basic.
