Sparcstation LX

Computing > Network > Unix
Computing > Desktop PCs

This is a working 32Mb sparcstation LX with a fresh install of SunOS 5.8.

There is no internal floppy drive in the bay.

The machine has been sitting off for quite some time and I was surprised that the clock still held it's time (see bootup). So the Battery is also in good condition.

There is no password on the root user so just login and go for it !
