Oh, trust me, I totally understand. As much as I love SPARC gear I'm down to very little. Just don't have the time or space to deal with that. I leave that to people who do have the time and space like Dave and his fantastic collection of big SPARC iron.

Well, I can not collect everything and working with Sun equipment for couple of decades has made me to lose interest on them. So if anyone in Finland is interested about those, I'm ready to give them out. It's not really worth of shipping them abroad.

I'm a huge fan of the ss5. That was the first Sun box I ever owned (back in '96).

The entire SPARCStation line was great.

That's an awful nice stack of sparc boxes you have there. Those are what, 1s? 2s? 5s?

Hi Sampsa,

I'm here in Espoo, the junk^H^H^H treasures are at Pasila.

Do you want to have a PDP-11/24? Or are you interested about Sun SS1+?

If you want to temporarily host any equipment at my place, I've got the space and a decent-ish HECnet connection in Kirkkonummi.

Where are you based in Finland?
