[rescue] Sun Ultra II in New Mexico

[Lionel Peterson]

Bob,

I shipped a bunch of Ultra 2 computers 'back in the day', it wasn't *that* expensive, but I had custom foam inserts that fit them into 2' x 2' x 2' cube boxes.

They actually ship quite well, but I 100% understand not wanting take on that project without custom foam inserts.

They are great boxes, and this system would make a great starting point for someone looking for some old kit - they are reasonably quiet, reasonably small, and fast enough to not have you spend too much time waiting for things to finish.

Good luck,

Ken

New CR2032 in there for the NVRAM that I hacked up. No reasonable offer declined. It's running Solaris 10 that was patched up through probably 2017 (latest patch set I could get my hands on).
