This is an absolute dog’s breakfast of a UI. It’s just embarrassing.
I have a SPARCengine Ultra AXi - an ATX OEM board from Sun with an UltraSPARC-IIi processor. It is in a stupid gamer case with blue LEDs, because it's funny. But what OS should I install on it?
The OEM navigation I added to my 2001 Skoda Octavia was great though. The GPS antenna was mounted under the dashboard and had a good view of the sky through the windscreen, which helped. Plus it could dead-reckon in tunnels using the speed input from the car. I fitted it in around 2007.
How many SCSI LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) is too many LUNs? Here I have 12.
So, this O2 sort of works. The power switch is broken but there’s a jumper on the main board to bypass it. SCSI drives are toast, obviously. But I have a box of them.
I can confirm it needs an HIL keyboard as the HP-IB port is for a disk drive, amongst other things. But the DIP switches were set for serial console, which works great. A lovely machine.
I think 7,500 for this bomb and 12,000 for a different bomb in Spandau. Happens all the time around here apparently. Here’s the view from my office. The bomb was in the lock.
If you were 15 when the Sega Megadrive came out in the UK - good news! You can now go on a Saga holiday.
