All,
I picked up a Sun 386i recently. It appears to be a 250 with the 16M
caching RAM card. But it also appears to have the most basic video card
with a DB-15 which I assume also carries keyboard (and mouse?).
Does anyone know where I can get the latest SunOS 4.0.2 for 386i and
accompanying SunView and VP/ix software? Would be an interesting box to
play around with. Also is there any technical information about the
pin-out for video/keyboard? It did not come with a cable adapter for a
Type 4 + RGB(+HV?)
Also the Wiki page speaks of a SunVGA ISA accelerator card. Is this a
special Sun card or did they use a commodity chip-set that could be
duplicated with another more generic card version from a 3rd party? It
seems like finding a video or ram card for the proprietary form factor -
that is not already in a machine - is impossible.
