My uncle, who develops compiler tools, insisted that,
since I work
for Sun, I take his 10-plus-year-old Sun h/w and s/w that has been
sitting in his garage. Figuring that I might be able to find a
better home for it, I agreed.
I haven't gone through all of it yet. The most obvious thing in
the boxes is media and documentation for Sun Workshop 7.0, C++
compiler 4.2 and Java Workshop.
There is Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 media and documentation. I need to
go through that to compare with what I already have.
There is also a SparcStation 5, a 16" Sun monitor (the one with all
of the display control buttons along the bottom), kbd, mouse, etc.
However, I haven't had time to go through it and confirm that it
works (though it should), what is in it as far as memory, disk,
etc., and that it doesn't contain any of my uncle's business info.
Once I do, I will probably sell it (for whatever you can get for a
SS5 these days).
If you have an interest in any of this stuff, let me know. I don't
want it to get thrown out, but I don't really want it in my garage
either.
If no one on this list takes the Sun goodies, you might want to
contact the "Suns at home" list: suns-at-home at
net-kitchen.com
Cheers,
Lyle
