Thinning the herd since I have seven Sun lunchbox systems at the moment.
For sale:
Sun SPARCclassic (4/15)
48MB memory
540MB Quantum HDD
cgsix framebuffer in addition to the built-in cgthree framebuffer
When I got this, it wasn't running. The IDPROM was bad, so I replaced it. Whoever installed its memory didn't know how Classic/LX memory should be installed, so I put in matched memory in the correct slots. The Sun424 HDD in it was failing, so I replaced it with another drive. The built-in cgthree framebuffer works, but I had a spare cgsix (Sun GX) framebuffer, so I put that in as well. I installed SunOS 4.1.4 and ran it and OpenWindows and almost everything works fine.
The only issue is networking. The TP ethernet port does not work. The AUI ethernet does work, but it requires a dongle not included with the sale. SBus ethernet cards are readily available for sale elsewhere.
Visually, it is pretty clean, but not perfect. Photos are posted below.
Sale is for the system unit only, no display, keyboard, or mouse. If you want a power cord, I can throw one in.
Price is $150 plus shipping. It is located in the Seattle area and I can deliver within the Puget Sound area. Also, I will be showing my other Sun lunchbox systems at the VCF Pacific Northwest next month and I can meet with you and deliver there.
