[rescue] ***SPAM*** Re: HW && SW observations :: WAS:::2009 prototype Sun system for sale on eBay

[Jerry Kemp]

I'm certainly not suggesting anything nefarious her, but if you watch the provided youtube boot up video, You'll see that this
system is running Solaris 11.3.

Given the date this system is suppose to be from, I was truly expecting to see a pre-release version of Solaris 11 Express, custom
modified for this box, or at least pre-release drivers for new hardware.  All I see is the Solaris 11.3 kernel message, with no hint
of an SRU update.

OTOH, I've watched that boot video several times now, looking to see information regarding the frame buffer, but if its there, I'm
definitely overlooking it.

I am so tempted by this, but I would never be able to update the operating
system on it I don't think.  Very, very cool piece of kit.

Please someone get it and publish pictures and explore, this thing looks
awesome. And it comes with the customized solaris disk!
