Sun Microsystems Computers

 

Sun Microsystems was my first exposure to Unix workstations. I posted a wanted ad on craigslist and someone responded. I went to their basement and picked up 4 workstations, 4 keyboards, and 3 mice, and 1 monitor for $100.

Unfortunately, the monitor was broken. This was about 10 years ago when CRTs were still given away for free, so I just got rid of it. Today, I would attempt to fix it. 

I'm still looking for a pre-SPARC Sun system, and maybe an Ultra 2 with dual processors. The S-BUS system interest me more than the later PCI systems.
