[SunRescue] Re: [[SunRescue] Rescued a Sparc Classic...]

[Arnach]

You say there was another Classic. When you digging around in the junkyard
again mind rescuing one of those for me?

Whatever condition I really dont care as long as I can get it to the white
screen.

Thanks,

Red Hat 5.2.  Biggest problem was the CD-ROM drive I rescued was dead
(interface responded but it wouldn't read any CDs).  After messing around a
bit, found an internal SCSI CD-ROM drive hiding in a discarded Wintel machine
and put it in the external Sun case - it worked!  FYI, it's a Sanyo CRD-254S
"Quadruple Speed" (I guess that means 4X) drive.  The external address switch
cable didn't fit so I just set the address with jumpers before I crammed in
the drive.  So I guess those Intel boxes are good for something after all...
