I just got home and opened it up. Things are looking
good! It has four
sticks of Kingston KTS7030/512 memory. I looked them up online. Each pair
is 512Mb so that means it has 1Gb of RAM! The hard drive is a Seagate
Barracuda II model ST320420A. That's an Ultra ATA/66 8.5 mS 7200RPM 20.4Gb
drive. It's not SCSI but it will do! The CPU is PN 501-5040. That's a 300
Mhz UltraSpark IIi CPU with a ceramic CPU and 512k cache. It's not the
fastest thing out there but again, it will do!
Nice, you've got about the same system as I do, I've only got an 8Gb 7200RPM
drive, but I've got the nice Creator 3D card in it. Mine came with 640Mb
RAM, but I found some that would work in it, and upgraded to 1Gb.
Now where can I find Windeos for this thing? :-)
Har, har.... On a serious note, I'd not recommend trying to run OpenBSD on
it, that about drove me crazy. First time I've ever seen starting X-Windows
crash a system!
Seriously, I found an Adaptec AHA-2940W/2940UW PCI
SCSI controller today.
Will it work in the SUN?
No. You need a Symbios SYM 22801 controller, I thing if you get the right
PC board you can do a substitute though. There are also a couple others
that will work.
