But that's it! Thank you to the #retrocomputing community for making fun projects like these possible. I'm off to benchmark some #SPARCstation disk performance next. 8/8

Picture of a cardboard box with Sun graphics labeled 'SPARCstation 1'
Picture of opened box showing two QIC-24 tapes inside
Cases of 2 QIC-24 cases for SunOS 4.0.3 for Sun-4c computers, tapes 1 and 2
Actual QIC-24 SunOS 4.0.3 tape #1 for the SPARCstation 1
Very excited - delivery came yesterday with an original set of #SunOS 4.0.3 tapes for the #SPARCstation 1! I'll have to repair the broken bands, and here's hoping for no bitrot, or that someone overwrote them over the years 😬

Picture of the SunGX Graphics Accelerator SBUS add-in board, Sun part number 501-1996
The GX Graphics Accelerator was released for the #SPARCstation 1 and was pretty revolutionary for its time. Below is a pic of the revised single-width version with chips from '92/'93. Curtis Priem (the designer of the IBM PGA accelerator) and Chris Malachowsky designed it, released in 1989. 2/7

Where did my day go? I don't even need to see the back of the computer for this project, but I would know. So now it exists. #fusion360 #sparcstation #sunmicrosystems

Image of an article from the December 1996 issue of Byte magazine about the Ross SparcPlug.
So I knew of SunPCI cards that add an x86 single board system to various #SPARC boxen via a PCI slot. But I'd never heard of the SparcPlug before!
It's basically a #SparcStation 20 that you slap into a full height 5.25" bay of an x86 system. That's awesome!

Solaris 7 CDE desktop displayed in 1-bit monochrome black and white, captured from a Sun SPARCstation 1.
Got my capture setup dialed in. I can record pixel-perfect from my Sun SPARCstations now.

Error screen from Solaris installation on Sun SPARCstation 1. It says: Preparing system for Solaris install Configuring disk (c0t3d0) - Creating Solaris disk label (VT0C) Creating and checking UFS file systems -Creating / (c0t3d0s0) ERROR: File system creation failed for / (c0t3d0s0) ERROR: Could not check or create system critical file systems ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration Could not update disks with new configuration
Can't seem to get Solaris to install on this Sparcstation 1 with a BlueSCSI. Keep getting this error when it tries to create the root filesystem.
