[rescue] Anyone have any info on this?

[Shawn Wallbridge]

The info I have found says that it is a Firewall/VPN that Sun came out with
in '96. The one list price I found from '96 was $25k :-0

It sounds like it uses an OS (probably a patched version of Solaris) or
software called SunScreen (hence the name). I get a copy of it with the
machine, but I might just try putting OpenBSD on it.

Woa! You got a deal and a half!

That is an SS/5 with a CD-ROM drive, 4 port Ethernet card, and PCMCIA
SBUS adapter.

The CPU speed is probably 110 MHz (doesn't look like a turboSPARC), and the
one SS/5 32 Meg DIMM means you have lots of room for memory expansion...

The HD is probably 2 or 4 gig.

The CD-ROM is worth more than you paid.

The Ethernet card is worth more than you paid.

All you need, it seems is a framebuffer...

That was a very lucky deal!
