This Old SPARC

The story of a man and his Sun SPARCstations (and an Ultra), and the trials, tribulations, and victories that go with the care and feeding of such a menagerie.

Wednesday, September 13, 2000

I won a Sun Ultra 1 200E yesterday on eBay. I paid $895 for it, which isn't a great bargain, but it's reasonable. The machine is a Sun-refurbished model and comes with a 30-day warranty. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with Solaris loaded, so I'm busily bidding for Solaris bundles on eBay. A copy of Solaris can run up to $75 or so. I haven't yet decided whether to keep Sparky. It would be kind of cool to keep him around so I'd have more than one Sun attached to my network, but it would also be nice to have the money. We'll see.

I did work out a deal with the guy from whom I purchased the Type 6 Country kit (the one I mistakenly assumed would have a PC layout). He agreed to exchange the PC-style kit he has with the one he sent me. Awesome! A real nice guy.
