I'll see about what it would take to convert it to something else; might be a good Verilog project. Might see about using the project Al mentioned for inspiration. Thanks! Kyle

Re: Sun Monochrome TTL Monitors
Upon closer inspection, it appears as though I have no frame buffer. Drats. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ariFxb8xggERExkU9 Anyone have a spare that would work? Thanks, Kyle

Kyle, To be more clear, since you mentioned "TTL mono" in your subject line, do you have a bwtwo or something else? -ethan

Here's a shot of the color framebuffer http://www.obsolyte.com/sunPICS/sun3/color360r.jpg The old monochrome framebuffers used ECL signals, IIRC, and that plus the refresh rate might be problematic with modern displays. I also have a 3/60 that is sitting out on my bench that would love to learn the answer to this question. Earlier this year I finally got a Sun3 keyboard (yes... one can make a Sun4 to Sun3 passive adapter, but I never got around to it) and somewhere I have an optical mouse with the modular jack that goes with it (again, an adapter can be made). Absent the answer, I was planning on starting out with a SCSI drive (or an ESDI drive in a Sun3 shoebox) and a serial terminal, just to get the machine running something. All of my real Sun experience starts with the SPARC1 in the early 90s. I didn't really get to play with the Sun3 line when it was current. -ethan
Sun Monochrome TTL Monitors
What are people doing for early Sun monitor replacements? I've got a Sun 3/60 that I'd like to hook up to a modern monitor, but am unaware of any means of doing so. Thanks! Kyle
