Bill,
> CARL!
Good grief. I feel like I'm "Cheers" where "everybody knows your
name". <grin>

You have no idea how happy that makes me. It's wonderful to know
that I _have_ made a difference in the "way things work" in this
small world.
In any event, I stumbled across this list rather by accident this
morning (looking for PDP-10 bits), and figured I'd give it a go. The
list header:
> List-Id: A mailing list for people interested in rescuing old hardware,
> particularly Sun equipment,
> from the dump. <rescue.sunhelp.org>
looks intesting. What can you tell me about a Sun Netra NFS (aka
Netra Enterprise 150)? The machine is an Ultra-1 under the covers,
runs a stripped-down version of Solaris 2.5.1 and a rather neat
Web interface for maintaining the RAID (5) metadevice and other bits.
Can I run Solaris 9 on the thing? (I understand I may need an OBP
"upgrade" to do it.)
For funsies, you may wish to note that I'm actually typing this
note on a SPARCstation-10 (dual TMS390Z55) that's on its way to getting
Sol 9 loaded on it (I need to get used to it for work, and haven't the
"spare" time there). The headers will state that the message came from
Elm on a Linux box, but I'm telnetted into that one at the moment.
Sincerely,
