Free Sun3 workstations

A person in Fulham, London, UK, is trying to give away 3 Sun3 workstations & not having much interest. Anyone fancy one? Mail them directly. I've talked to them & they asked me to plug the machines if I could. I'd love one myself but I have no space for them. :?( From: Kake L Pugh <kake at earth.li> Date: Apr 4, 2005 11:58 AM Subject: [FreeCycleLondon] OFFERED: Sun 3 computers, SW6 To: freecyclelondon at yahoogroups.com Note: these are old computers, and they are large. You will need a car. Collect before Sunday 17th April, please. Take one, two, or all three! We're in SW6, just off Fulham Palace Road. Two of the machines are diskless, but it's straightforward to boot them over the network, and I'd be happy to lend a hand to get them to do so. The enormous monitors mean they make excellent X terminals with nice big text. You can boot them straight into X, or you can run an OS on them in diskless mode. I've run SunOS 4 and NetBSD on them; I believe it's now possible to run linux as well. snack has a disk with SunOS installed, so doesn't need to boot over the network. It has a hybrid X server which supports the NeWS windowing system. stinky: Sun 3/50, 4MB RAM, 16MHz 68020 CPU with floating-point coprocessor pizzabox case 10base2 ethernet Huge 1152x900 monochrome monitor snipe: Sun 3/140, 16MHz 68020 with floating-point coprocessor. 3-VME-slot case: can either sit flat with a monitor on top, or stand freely.
