AKA > Melbourne, Australia. That is not _quite_ antipodal to my location, but pretty close (my antipode is a spot in the Indian Ocean; what map I can find places it a bit over 1000km southwest of the southwest tip of Australia). Certainly the other side of the world, yes! Bummer. Probably more expensive than it's worth to ship. If/when you do let that hardware go, I hope you find someone local who wants it; I really hate it when irreplaceable working hardware gets trashed, and those just aren't being made any more. (Not a criticism; I've been guilty of doing it myself on a more occasions than I'd like.) > Not sure of the specs of the CG6s, let me know if this helps. > http://www.madmonks.org/sparc/cg6x2.jpeg Not really; I do not know them well enough to say from that view. More useful would be the 501- numbers from the sticker, usually on the SBus connector, something like 5012922001234. The first seven digits are the interesting part (eg, 501-2922 in my example); they are the hardware model number, with the rest (001234 in my example) apparently being something more like a serial number. If it doesn't begin with 501, you've got the wrong number (or it's not Sun hardware, but those look like real Sun cg6s). >>> I canâ??t justify turning them on, thereâ??s nothing they can do >>> that canâ??t be done better by a Rasperry Pi or clone in 5W, >>> including most likely running SunOS with qemu-sparc. >> Where did you find the SBus interface for the pi? > Hah, I saw someone had apparently made a way to turn a Raspberry Pi > into a 68k emulator for an Amiga 500, so, you know, don't rule > anything out ;-) Oh, I don't. If someone _does_ have an SBus interface for a pi, I want to know about it! But, to a retrocomputing enthusiast, running old hardware is a goal in its own right, and, from that perspective, running an IPX _does_ do something - something emotional, not technical - that emulation just can't do. (My remark was intended to point out that - unless someone has built an SBus bridge for some other system - an IPX *can* do something technical emulation can't, namely talking to SBus cards. Most SBus hardware can be emulated, but not all, especially if it's an interface to something rare.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse%rodents-montreal.org@localhost / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
