3 18.2 GB Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 disks- all Compaq
(if you want to use this with a Sparc 5 or Ultra 1

than 10 pounds.
2 Exabyte EXB-8200 8mm tape drives, each with a large collection of
mostly used and erased tapes.
1 Exabyte EXB-8500 8mm tape drive - needs repair, does not write or erase
1 Quantum Differential SCSI DLT 35/70GB PN: TH6BB-YF, with a handful
of used tapes, a SCSI 3 cable, and differential terminator. An

1 Quantum Differential SCSI DLT 35/70GB PN: TH6BF-HD, with a handful

read many less dense formats, and it will read and write QIC250
tapes.


Sun Computers:
1 Sparc 5 110 MHz machine with Solaris 9 loaded. The battery in the
NVRam has gone bad but it can still be booted. This one no longer
boots SunOS, possibly because it does not have a full set of RAM
(1 SIMM missing).
1 Ultra1 machine with Solaris 9 loaded. The battery in the NVRam has
gone bad, but it can still be booted. This one has a full 512K RAM.


CRT Monitors: These are far too big and heavy to ship. They can be picked up
in the Chicago suburbs.
3 Sun 21" monitors, model GDM-5010PT. These are have a 13W3 cable and
a VGA input with a switch on front to select the source.


Keybords and Mice:
5 Sun Type 5c keyboards with mice. Most mice are rubber ball mice.


Other Hardware:
2 501-3001 SM71 75MHz SuperSPARC II Module

3 401-1412 Sun Microphone (in box)
1 401-1579 Sun Microphone (in box)
3 370-1678 Sun Microphone (in box)

1 SUN SWITCH KVM Model CS98-MM by Wright Line
(10 x 13W3 + Keyboard & Mouse) with 10 13W3 cables (most short
but some long ones), but only 4 keyboard cables

1 Sun 595-3225 External CDROM SCSI-2 interface

6 sticks of 32MB Ultra 1 RAM
8 sticks of 64MB Ultra 1 RAM
16 sticks of Ultra 1 RAM (probably 64 MB)
4 sticks of Ultra 1 RAM (could be either 32MB or 64 MB)

1 Ultra 1 power supply (removed from Ultra 1 that would no longer boot)

1 Ultra1 disk caddy
2 Disk heat sink plates (fit under disk)

Bob,

Probably overlooking your location, but, where are you located??

I have no "horse in this race", but I wanted to share this to assist who ever ends up with the Adobe FrameMaker 5.5 stuff.

* Unless this is a special CD, and it certainly could be, I expect this CD to not only support Solaris, but to be a *UNIX* cd, with
binaries for:

HP - HPUX
IBM - AIX
SGI - IRIX
Sun - SunOS 4.1.x
Sun - Solaris 2.4+

* Be it a stand-alone single license, or a shared license, the new owner will need some license to use this product.

* As part of the Sun (now Oracle) application binary compatibility guaranty, I've ran 5.5 on and up to Sol 10 successfully. I don't
believe this is unique. Every Solaris admin probably has some application horror story, mine was with Veritas file system/volume
manager when moving from Solaris 2.5.1->Solaris 2.6, but for the most part, most everything application wise transitions up OK. I
have not tried FM 5.5 either on Oracle Solaris 11.x+ or on any of the open Solaris based distro's, but my educated guess is that FM
5.5 should run, as long as the IPv6 thing is addressed.

* There is one gotcha when running FrameMaker 5.5 to 6.0 on Solaris. I could turn this into a book, but I'm just going to share
this old (and long gone) Adobe tech doc from the Wayback Machine:::

<https://web.archive.org/web/20060830113953/https://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/326075.html>

^^^^ Very important if you use IPv6, or just have IPv6 enabled.

* FrameMaker 7.x for Unix, and above, works fine with IPv6 interfaces enabled.

* Patches, updates, additional templates, etc, still available directly from Adobe here:::

<https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=22&platform=unix>

..........................

I will probably never write a book, but I am required to do a lot of technical documentation. My tool of choice, for the last 20
years, has been FrameMaker on Solaris.

Again, just hope this helps who ever ends up with this product.

Jerry,

About 2 months ago, I loaded the FM 5.5 onto my Ultra 1 running

Solaris 9. The Serial/Registration Number is included on the CD sleeve.

The CD sleeve also lists WIndows 95/Windows NT, MacIntosh, and Unix.

And under Unix it lists requirements for SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX,

and IRIX. This seems to imply that it could be loaded onto all these

systems. Since the NVram battery is dead on my Ultra1, I did not

try configuring internet access. So I don't know if it would try to register

itself. When I last had it working (10 years ago in NC) I had a NewsPrinter 20

to use with it. But the rollers of that printer turned to jelly by the time I moved

to IL. A few months ago I had lunch with several former colleagues who

complained that they still could not produce decent diagrams and drawings

with MS stuff. How they longed for FM.

Hi, is the FrameMaker 5.5 disk still available? I did send you a private
email but not sure if it reached you.
