Hi All,
It seems that every good collector of fine Sun equipment sometimes finds
him/her self overextended in a financial way. (and for students, this
is even more so) So, I am forced to sell my only very recently acquired
SparcBook. Here's what the lucky purchaser will get:
SparcBook 3GX:
110mhz MicroSPARC-ii (sun4m)
1.2GB hard drive (removable)
64MB ram
2mb video ram
Onboard modem (14.4 I believe)
Onboard SCSI
Onboard ethernet (including a transceiver and the hard to find required
cable)
800x600 res colour LCD (the active type, that is very nice and sharp)
2 type II or 1 type III pcmcia card slot (for your 56k modem,
ethernet...)
2 serial ports
1 parallel port
1 external keyboard/mouse port
1 external SVGA type port (so you can drive external monitors at
high-res)
Also:
extra battery
MicroSpeed trackball
SCSI floppy disk drive w/case (works off the laptops power supply)
AC adapter
ethernet transceiver and the hard to find required cable (also listed
above)
required parallel cable adapter
a little Targus case (it's very nice, in a minimalistic sort of way.)
I can preload Solaris 6 with all the patches if you wish, and I 'may' be
able to do 2.5.1 with NCE (or whatever it's called) if you want. I'll
even load StarOffice 5.2!
For those of you who don't quite know what a sparcbook 3gx is, it is
basically a SparcStation 5/110mhz put into a portable form, with power
management, suspend, pcmcia, everything you'd expect from a laptop,
EXCEPT: It has a very nice keyboard. It's magnesium alloy case makes it
very rugged. Also, check out these links:

I'm asking $500 (or best offer) +shipping. I figured I'd extend this
offer to SunHelp people before I put it up on 'ebay' or whatever. (I'd
like my baby to go to a nice family, where it can grow-up with other's
of it's own platform... sniff, sniff)
