Subject: NetBSD: donating Sun SPARC 64 servers (fwd)
Hello fellow SPARC people.
Please find attached offer from Ryerson University (see below). Please note
the short time line.
"Sorry for the short time lines, but we need to remove these servers very
soon. The management requires the space. These servers still have good
production life in them, so it would be a shame to dispose of them. We have
an e-waste recyclers coming initially Oct 17, so we want to know if there is
commitment to taking some servers before then. We'd need the requested
servers to be removed no later than Oct 24. The sooner these servers are
taken the better."

Most servers come with 2 disks. We'll attempt to populate the drive bays with at least 2 disks and sleds.? Pair of Rack mount rails

Unfortunately we cannot ship these items (no packing material, time and cost is too high) If interested please contact us to pick up
the servers by October 24. Otherwise these will be recycled.

Thanks, Rich. I have made an inquiry about the SunFire 4800.

Hello NetBSD
We have a number of working Sun SPARC servers available for donation.
* SunFire 4800; Qty 1

Additional information per Roger Ehrlich: This Sunfire 4800 is in a
full SunFire rack which also contains a StorEdge S1 and a StorEdge 3300
with hardware RAID card installed. Both arrays are partially populated.
The 4800 has one failed power supply and two last-known-good ones.

This is more than I can handle on my own without a truck and a crew.
But it sounds like it might be a good candidate for the Large Systems
Museum?
