It was part of Sun&rsquo;s highly successful SPARCstation family, which became renowned for their use in engineering, scientific computing, and other technical fields. The SS5 was built around Sun’s proprietary SPARC architecture and remains a notable example of 1990s workstation technology.</p>https://blog.romheat.net/posts/2024/24_09_21_trying_t2/Sat, 21 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.romheat.net/posts/2024/24_09_21_trying_t2/<h2 id="trying-t2sde-linux-on-a-sun-sparcstation-5">Trying T2sde Linux on a Sun Sparcstation 5</h2> <p>I have a Sun Sparcstation 5, it has installed NetBSD 9, that was the nearest OS that I could install on it. I wanted to try Linux on it, years ago I was able to install linux on a Ultra 1, from the network using a TFTP server and the process was fun. I learned a lot.</p> <p>Recently I had read about T2sde, a distribution that supports a lot of architectures, including SPARC. I decided to give it a try. There a lot of packages available, and the process sounds easy, and the best the have one of the most recent versions of the Linux kernel. Amazing!</p>https://blog.romheat.net/posts/2003/03_10_01_sun_ultra/Wed, 01 Oct 2003 00:00:00 +0100https://blog.romheat.net/posts/2003/03_10_01_sun_ultra/<h2 id="enredadndo-con-la-sun-ultra-1">Enredadndo con la Sun Ultra 1</h2> <p>Estas son algunas notas que he ido tomando mientras jugueteaba con una Sun Ultra 1 que adquirí recientemente en ebay por un módico precio (60€). La Ultra 1 será durante estos día mi juguetito (como yo lo llamo).</p> <p><strong>La Maquina.</strong></p> <p><img src="https://blog.romheat.net/images/Enredadndo%20con%20la%20Sun%20Ultra%201%20-%20(code%20segment)/Sun_Ultra_1_frontal.jpg" alt=""></p> <p>Bueno, por comprar barato, la maquina solo tiene 64Mb (veremos lo que da de si) y no tiene disco duro ni CDROM, con lo que tendré que volver a ebay para agenciarme un disco SCSI 3 con conector SCA.</p>
