    Description

    Sun Microsystems Ultra 5 desktop (380-0341-01)
    This basic Ultra 5 SPARC desktop needs some cosmetic cleanup, but she's a solid little machine.  Full configuration:
    400MHz UltraSPARC-IIi CPU, 2MB cache (501-5741)
    512MB
    RAM (4 x 128MB)
    10GB ATA-66 hard disk (WD WD102BB)
    On-board "m64" graphics (4MB)
    On-board "hme" 10/100 Ethernet
    CD-ROM (CRD-8322B) and 1.44MB floppy
    The hard disk contains a basic Solaris 7_HW11/99 user install to verify functionality, but you'll undoubtedly want to update or replace that.  Also included is an original Sun Ultra 5 supplement CD with some extra drivers and patches on it.  Requires a Sun keyboard and mouse (
    not
    PS/2!) or you can use the serial console.
    Condition notes:
    While the inside is very clean, and the machine has been stored in a cool, dry, smoke- and pet-free environment and seen only very light use, it will need a little TLC to really make it shiny again.
    The NVRAM battery is dead
    ,
    because it always is
    .  Lots of info about replacing/reprogramming these available on-line!
    There are a few scratches and scuffs, and the front plastics are yellowed, but the retrobrite treatment is all part of the fun when restoring "vintage" systems;
    The floppy tests good but may still need a good cleaning; the CD-ROM drive is verified to work too!
    The fan is a little grumbly so you might want to open up the power supply and check for dust, etc.
    Local pickup is preferred!
    But I can ship UPS Ground with a couple of days additional handling time.
    Please don't hesitate to ask questions if you're curious about this old machine.  Thanks for your interest!
