Ok, I don't think I'll ever do anything with my SS20, so I'm gonna get rid of it.

It has (I gotta boot it up, I'm remembering this off the top of my head) :
Dual SuperSparc 75mhz cpu boards with 1MiB of external cache per chip
6GiB SCSI HDD running Solaris 8
256MiB of RAM
HME (Happy Meal Ethernet) 100base-T Ethernet card
ZX 24BPP Framebuffer card

I have a working 13w3 to VGA adapter I can throw in if any wants it. That's a 20 buck value ;)

It's SCSI CD drive used to work OK until I stripped the gears out 10 minutes after unboxing it. I somehow managed to get my shirt stuck in the drive, didn't notice and moved... and, well, drive gears don't like that.

heres a horrible picture of it with my Toshiba T3100 hooked up to it for a console.

I'll try and get some pics of it running solaris and from all angles. If you are interested, just PM me an offer. It's not worth much, but it WILL run nextstep. waste of the second CPU though :)

P.S.

almost forgot, I have install media for Solaris 8 (legit copies) and a Sun Keyboard/Mouse to go with it.

How much for your SS20 including shipping to Canada?

Thanks!

Can you private message me your postal code or full address? I can figure out how much it would be then.

system is still up for grabs for whoever.

I checked the HDD finally, and its 4.3gb iirc. Also, I fixed the SCSI CD drive.

OS4.2 gets through installing then craps out trying to boot with an error about not being able to find a vga card or something to that effect. It apparently doesn't like my ZX video card.

If you want pics, just let me know. It seems to work fine under slowlaris.
