I have the following system for sale for $3200.

Hardware
--------
Sun Sparcstation 1 (4/60)

28 mb RAM (4 4mb SIMMS and 12 1mb SIMMS)
color frame buffer
19" color monitor
type 4 keyboard
optical mouse and mouse pad
mechanical mouse and mouse pad (I bought this as an extra)
3.5 inch floppy disk drive
SCSI port, ethernet port, 2 serial ports, audio ports - built in

105 mb Quantum internal disk

and a

207 mb Maxtor internal disk (some bad sectors, but you can have it anyway)


Software
--------
SunOS 4.1.2 on CD or SunOS 4.1.1 on 1/4" tape (you decide)
OpenWindows 3.0 on CD with full OW documentation (Sun's X package)
Island Write, Island Draw, Island Paint on CD (with license) (good package!)
WingZ on 3.5 on floppies (with license) (good spreadsheet)
Solitaire, Ishido on floppies (with license) (nice games! from DUX software)
SimCity on floppies (with license) (fun fun fun!)

various other public domain stuff

Notes/Price/Etc
---------------
I have had this system for about a year now.  Last week, the 207 mb internal
disk died (the Maxtor).  It has been working fine otherwise.

I could replace the drive for about $150 or so, but I decided that I really
don't need this computer at home anymore.  I didn't use it that much, since
we have a bunch of Sparcstations at work too.

It is a really nice system for Unix fans!  It isn't a silly machine
trying to run Unix, it really can move.  It would be a great mail server
or UUCP server too.  But I found that it was a good all around machine for 
programming, graphical work, etc.

*********************************
I would like to get $3200 for it.
*********************************

Please email your offers to me.  I will wait a few days for offers to trickle
in and consider the best one at that time.  If no good offers come in by
then, I will wait a little longer.

I'm really annoyed with my old sun2 mono monitor. It's just about time to
put it out of My misery. I would Like to get a better one. So if you have
a newer model lying around that you think no-one wants, I'd be interested
in making an offer on it. This would be outputting from a bwtwo board,
9-pin din I think.

Then again, if you happen to have a COLOR monitor and card I can use on
my 4/110, I might be interested in THAT, too!!

(Can be P4 board, OR VME board!!)

I ask the same question here a few months ago, and didn't get any
responses.  One way to do this (as you sugested) is to hack login.
Unfortunately, any old login.c won't do, especially if you use secure
NFS.

We have tried to implement Sun's ARM package, which among many things,
can query for additional passwords under definable conditions, but
alas, I had a great deal of problems with the package (under 4.1.1b)
and had to yank it out (problems especially under 40-60 user load,
perhaps complicated with/via secure RPC / secure NFS, I don't know at
this point)...

All I want is a "system password" prompt on the dialup lines - no big
deal ...

I need to put a dialback facility onto one of our tty ports.

then disconnecting and using them as a lookup to provide the callback number.

To run on a Sparc 2, 4.1.2.

Can anyone help?

Hi.

I know, I know, the Sun's old, the OS is old, but we've got no new
resources coming in, and folks are getting tired of gopher not being
to resolve an domain names. So far we've been getting by hardcoding
errors into /etc/hosts, but if the machine gets more users (mostly for
email, ftp, and gopher), this is going to get *real* irritating.

Can someone out there give me a pointer as to *how* to get a domain 
aware shared library? Can *I* "make" it, and do an ldconfig, or is
this something that I have to get from outside our machine?

Barring that solution, is it possible to get a list of domains and
their IP addresses out there, to really beef up our /etc/hosts file?

Thanks!

Hello there,
we currently have a SparcStation 10 Model 20 with SunOS Release 4.1.3.
Today we connected a dialin modem to the machine. My question: how do I
get dialin password protection for the line the modem is connected to?
On our Silicon Graphics machines, I can mark several ports as 
'dialin' ports and when logging on from those, I have to supply an additional
password during login to get into the machine. How do I specify
'dialin' ports on a sun ? Do I have to replace the 'login' program ?
Thanks a lot for any help

Anyone have a Sun shoebox for SALE. Ideally the shoebox should have
atleast one ESDI/MFM/ST506 disk drive with an appropriate controller,
and a 60Mb QIC tape drive. If it has the disk alone, that's fine too. I
have a sun3/50 running sunos3.5, and so I can't use any SCSI disks. If
you do have one that you are thinking of selling, please send me mail or
give me a call.

Get the resolv+ 2.0 package from [among other places] wiretap.spies.com

Hi all,

I downloaded the xpilot sources from wuarchive/volume14 over the weekend,
and I am trying to compile it on a Sun IPX running SunOS 4.1.3.  I am
having
a lot of trouble, and have tracked the problems to be the fact that the 
makefile I got is mostly configured for HPUX, and sun's implementation of
X is nothing like that.

Someone out there has bound to have compiled this for SunOS.  If you have
and have had success, I want to hear from you.  A tar of the actual
executables would be excellent, a properly working makefile would be
good, and just some general help and pointers would be very helpful.  I 
long to play this game on my Sun, as it is one of my favorites.

I have Imakefile and xmkmf on my machine to facilitate compiling x
programs,
but have never done this before.  I know just enough about unix to make
me dangerous.  

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.  Please respond via email
if possible, rather than posting an answer.

Anxiously,

I'm looking for our HP sys admin for a sparc book clone that will run 4.1.3  
We arent going to solaris 2.0 for a while and I'm told that the sparc book will
only run solaris 2.0.  He hates sun but is being forced to them because of 
policy and I'm rubbing it in GOOD (or will when the PO is cut)!  Might as well
make the move easyer for the poor misguided sole.

So, who makes sparc laptop boxes?  Any personal experiance with them?

Thanks for all replies

Would I be able to use the memory and/or the color frame buffer from
a 386i on a SS1?  If not, does anyone have a cheap frame buffer for
sale?

Can somebody tell me his experiences  with video input and output for
Sun. I@m interested in comparing different boards like 
- Parallax     X-Video
- Rasterops  SB-TC/PIP
- Sun           Videopix.

Please mail me your experiences, especially concerning frame-rate for
grabbing, programming and compression. 

Does anybody use another board for this application?

Do boards with MPEG exist in the moment and what are the further
developments in this direction for the above mentioned boards?

Is it possible to use a MPEG or JPEG-Player for displaying on another Sun.

Thanks.
