The Sun Microsystems Item
| 
Dec 13 04:34 UTC 2017 |
An item about computers (and probably software) from Sun
Microsystems. Related hardware from Oracle and Hitachi are
probably also fair game.

I just spent some time digging around in Old Jellyware
to clarify some vague memories about the old Grex 4/670. It
sounds as though we lived in a 3/160 (or Computervision
clone thereof) and perhaps even a Sun 2, if you go back far
enough. Anyone who remembers the old iron might find this
video entertaining or interesting:

In it, Dr. Steve Bagley attempts to clean up and boot an
old 3/160.

I donated the old Sun 3/260 to the Pumpkin way back when
Bagley's is in sweet condition - envious!

The old SunOs was nice. When things went RISC on UltraSparc, etc using
Solaris, etc then much of the thrill was gone. Though, for a good window
of time it had the best httpd around and made an excellent IPX to TCP/IP
gateway.

Definitely. Though our ideas of speed in computing have changed over the
years as hardware has gotten faster, thanks for helping Grex then and now,
Todd!
