Those SPARCStations are fantastic little machines, I still have an LX, has even a 486 SBUS card, was my main PC mid 90s for years (I run win95 on the card)
Most issues with the machine were :
bad NVRAM battery, can be fixed by "hack" the NVRAM chip
and failed (caps leaking) PSU, its dead easy to rewire it with a SFF PSU (alas the power button on the keyboard does not work to power-on the machine)
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 5y agoI've got an IPX like the linked article. 64MB RAM, 3 external SCSI drive enclosures. I have some SBUS cards around here for it. It also has the dead NVRAM battery, but I just take the opportunity to set my MAC to de:ad:c0:ff:ee at every cold boot (which isn't often these days). I have an older version of OpenBSD on it.
