Detailing a few of my interests over the years.

SUN IPC (4/40)

This fun little lunchbox style computer I picked up at a GoodWill Online Auction for a reasonable price. The Power supply was leaking everywhere, but after a good cleaning and a recap its as good as new! Luckily the goo didn't leak onto the motherboard at all which sits directly below the power supply. The NMVRAM was also dead (as expected), but using a dremel I easily added a coincell 2032 battery to the top of it to get it working. I've also added a cgsix (sbus) video card, and will be adding a SunPC SX Accelerator Card (sbus) I have.

Quirks: By default, the internal HDD needs to be on scsi id 3 in order for auto-boot to find and boot from the HDD. I initially was using scsi id 0 as I usually do, but could never get the commands quite right in order for booting to take place.
