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.
