I've posted about this machine a couple times before- it's a Sun 3004 + Carerra
memory along with a bunch of ComputerVision parts. It looks like it runs SunOS 3.x at this
point.
I have documentation.
Anyway -
This beast is biggish and the 3004 has some sort of fault, the nature of which is beyond
my current skills to locate. I did pop in a 3/110 mainboard, and it semi-booted (started
complaining about
unhandled interrupts- looks like it has a trimmed kernel). Looks like the drive (a Control
Data) is having issues (errors on a couple of directories when I mounted it from a 4.1.4
IPX).
Disclaimers aside- or the Reason for This Message: I don't think that I can keep this
machine, and I think that there are others on the list who would be more interested in
it.
It has, in addition to the CPU and RAM (12 MB), the CV framebuffer, CV GPU (2 board set),
tablet interface, and SCSI+serial card (SMPL board in CV lingo).
Built-in tape drive (complete with gummy roller) and the CDC 1?0 MB SCSI drive in a
deskside chassis (not Sun 3/160). Docs and tapes included, all smoked caps have been
replaced.
I will be scanning the docs and taking more pictures before getting rid of it.
Preference given to location (about 150-200 pounds of computer here), interest, and bribes
(I'm looking for a decent smallish VMS box that takes modern SCSI drives, and a MC88k
box,
but will consider other offers).
