Vintage Computer Festival East 2.0

July 16th-17th, 2004

This is my display at the VCF East 2.0 held at the Sun Microsystems Burlington, MA office.

Left Rear: Tadpole Ultrabook, Left Front Tadpole SPARCbook 2, Middle Left Sun Voyager, Middle Right, TRIgem/RDI Britelite LX, Right Tadpole SPARCbook 3GX, Far Right: Sun JAVAstation.

The left tower is a Sun 2/120, Sun's first server. It features a 10 MHz 68010 CPU, 1152x900 monochrome graphics, 5 MB RAM (4 MB on a Helios Memory Board), a Sun/Intel Ethernet board, a Sun Serial/SCSI adapter, a Xylogics 450 SMD controller, 2x CDC 94155-85 71 MB ESDI disks connected to an ESDI-SCSI Adaptec board, and a 20 MB Archive QIC tape drive. The right tower contains 2x Fujitsu M2322K, B03B-4745-B002A, 168 MB 8" SMD disks.

The workstation sitting on top of the server is a Sun 2/50. This was the first workstation to be sold for under $10,000. It features an 8 MHz 68010 CPU board with 4 MB RAM, onboard Ethernet, 2x Serial and 1152x900 monochrome graphics, a 6Ux160 VME adapter board holding an additional 1 MB RAM and a Sun-2 SCSI controller. It was running as a diskless workstation at the VCF but it can also boot SunOS 4.0.3 from an external SCSI disk.

The tower at the far right is a Sun 386i/250.
