    SBC/small motherboard with real floppy controller?

    SBC/small motherboard with real floppy controller?

    I'm looking to build an all-in-one disk imaging box, and I think the best way to to that in terms of broad software and format support is running DOS using ImageDisk, etc. What I want to find is the smallest possible 486 or better (so I can dual-boot a *NIX if necessary) motherboard that has a...

    Southwest RDI Tadpole looking for a new home

    If it's an RDI, which would make it a PrecisionBook, not a SPARCbook, it's PA-RISC. My understanding is that no SPARCbooks were produced by RDI, the predecessor to Tadpole.

    For Sale: spotted on Craigslist (continuous sightings)

    Two SunFire V890s in Berryville VA, $175 current bid: https://www.allsurplus.com/asset/13403/20379 (if someone gets one of these, I'd be interested in buying one of them if we can figure out transportation/handoff at VCF SW/Tandy Assembly/otherwise get it to Texas)

    WiFi for Solaris 2.6/7?

    I was unaware the ESP32 WiFi modems could do SLIP/PPP; the one I have I think only does telnet?

    Newbie looking to get into vintage unix workstations, requesting advice.

    Correct, and as the result of an eBay score, Mr. Kossow has a set of TNIX install disks that should eventually end up on bitsavers.

    WTB: Tadpole/RDI hard drive enclosures

    A decade late, but posting for future searchers: I will be getting my hands on some SPARCbooks this weekend and one of the first things I’m going to do is create a printable 3D model of the drive module.

    WiFi for Solaris 2.6/7?

    I am about to get my hands on a SPARCbook (!!!), and I am trying to find out if there’s any way to do WiFi on Solaris 2.6 or 7. Obviously it won’t be built in, but I’m hoping there’s a latter-day driver or the such. Am I SOL?
