Hi all, I just acquired an SS20 with the following:
128M of ram ZX frame buffer 1G hard drive Sony external bootable cdrom 75MHz cpu 19" monitor keyboard / no mouse I have tried to install three different OS's on it so far without success (Solaris 8, old version of Red Hat - Sparc 6.0 and the latest Debian Sparc download from an ISO sight). Solaris bombed because the frame buffer is unsupported. RedHat version and the Debian Sparc version bombed because of an error in the scsi sub- system, got an esp0 unending loop off the scsi bus. My questions: Which version of Debian-Sparc will successfully load on my particular hardware combination? It seems that Solaris 2.6 should work but I do not want to pay the $50 to $100 they want on ebay just for a copy. thanks to all, charles......
