[rescue] Free (for shipping): Sun SunFire V100

[Lionel Peterson]

Joshua,

I'm actually driving across PA tomorrow, from Philly to Pittsburgh, and I'd be happy to stop by and pick this up.

If possible, I'd like to pick it up "around" lunch time, I can better mail down my time after you send me your address/pickup spot.

It would be nice to have a quiet SPARC in the mix...

As I see, it's a two-drive system, and takes IDE drives, do you have at least one drive tray?

Thanks - you can reach out to me off-list at lionel4287 at gmail.com and let me know if that works for you?

Thanks,

Ken

I think it is a 600mhz CPU, but my memory on that could be fuzzy since it has been off for more than 10 years. It does have 1 gigabyte of RAM, which I think is maxed out for the machine.

I doubt it  is worth shipping internationally, but if you want to pay, I won't disallow that.  I will prefer payment by Paypal or Cash.app.  If someone actually wants to come get it in person, they can completely do so for no $ to me., and if someone wants it packaged on their UPS or FedEx account, then I am happy to drop it off for free as well.

Overall I feel much more freedom in my computer area and like I can actually do stuff there again, although the work in the area isn't finished as the cleanout has not only made the space usable, but having emptied ones storage area, I can now add better shelves there and offload stuff from my office.  This is overall such an exciting process.
