Maximum RAM in a Sparc Classic is 96MB regular and 128MB inofficially. The latter can be achieved by using two 32MB SIMMs in the first two sockets.Cool - much more then originally thought. Thnx. Btw, any sites you could point me at that would sell RAM for such an old machine? Thnx again.
Ebay's probably your best bet.
The SPARCclassic is definitely not an IPX. See faqaboss.sunhelp.org for details. Basically, they're both in a lunchbox chassis, so that's what's similar.Oh? When I bought my machine on eBay it was advertised as being a Sun IPX - the guy claimed that the Sparcclassic was the same thing.
The SPARCclassic has an onboard CG3. Pretty sucky. Max out your ram and use a light-weight windowmanager like fvwm or blackbox, but even still, it probably wouldn't be a pleasant experience.Interesting. Well, could I run X-Windows on my machine given a larger HD and maxed out RAM? Its not really important if I can or not, just curious.
As for the Linux: You can also try Aurora Linux, which is based on RHL7.3.It's still pretty much beta, but it runs well on my SparcStation LX. See: http://auroralinux.org/
You'll probably have better luck with OpenBSD or NetBSD.
faqaboss.sunhelp.org and sunhelp and obsolyte are all tremendously cool resources for sparc info.Also, have a look at Sun's website, as well as http://www.sunhelp.org and http://www.obsolyte.com for information about Sparcs in general.
