[Coco] And on the delusional Ebay auction post today...

[Salvador Garcia]

Sorry for the late response.

As you said the Sparc Station 4 has the slot for the CD ROM on the side, but it has a plastic plate over it. I don't believe the drive is installed.

I do know that it has a hard rive because I've booted the Sun Os2.4 on it.

Better (newer

This station
has an extension card (looks like a Sun SWIFT SBus adapter)
with an Wide-SCSI
and Fast-Ethernet port. The built-in interfaces are
Narrow-SCSI (picture bottom
right) and 10 Mbit/s Ethernet (TP port on
the bottom row).

It is a lean version
of a SparcStation5 missing the audio support
(interfaces) and has just the
workstation specific DB13W display interface,
but with a slightly faster Sparc
CPU (32-Bit architecture).

Is a CD-ROM built into it (the slots are on the box
side, not on the
picture)? A hard disk is probably built-in, but it was common
to attach the
disks in external disk bays or run it diskless (NFS
served).
