This is my periodic query for original install media for SunOS 4.1.4. I
have a special affinity for the Sun IPX and I'd like to get mine working
with SunOS.
By the way, has anyone here successfully attached an LCD monitor to an
older Sun?

I have an IBM Thinkvision L190 running on my older Sun systems. The
systems are connected to a Lightwave Serverswitch 8200. The 8200 is then
connected to a PC-style KVM with a Raritan APSSUN converter, so I can also
use the monitor with several Intel boxes. The systems are an IPC, LX,
SS20, Ultra 2 and Ultra 10. The systems are all configured for
1152x900x66. Everything works with the LCD monitor EXCEPT the Ultra 10.
The on-board PGX almost works, but the screen blinks on and off every
second or two. I can't get the Elite3D to sync at all.
I have two more Suns to connect: a SS2 and a 3/60. I need to make a
keyboard adapter cable for the 3/60.

I dunno about original media, and I'm not sure exactly which version,
but I think I have some pre-Solaris SunOS around. Lemme rummage some.

FSVO "older", yes (actually, to be precise, I don't know whether
they're LCD or something else - TFT, plasma, I don't know all the
names). Flatscreens are the normal displays for my SS20 at home (cg14
and cg6) and the LXes at work and at my gf's place (cg6s). I've never
had a problem connecting them to Sun framebuffers, thoguh I'm not sure
I've ever tried a bw2. (13W3-using Sun framebuffers, that is. I
wouldn't expect them to work with the DE9-using Sun-2/Sun-3 era stuff,
and 3BNC/4BNC/5BNC stuff is a definite maybe, depending on sync.)

I have 4.1.4. I'm at the girlfriend's place now, but I'll rummage
for the CDROM when I return home later tonight and see if I can make
an image of it. Please ping me off-list in a day or two if you don't
hear back from me.
I share your IPX affinity. I had one on my desk for a very long
time, when they were state of the art. Wonderful little machine.
And amazingly zippy, from a time when software wasn't so poorly-
written and bloated.

Hey David,
I replied off-list to your request. Did you get my e-mail, or did it get eaten somewhere
along the line?
