Re: Good sparc system? - Cont

[Chris Hoover]

How about the ELC?  There are a couple on the ebay.com auction block. 
One is $30.00 with 0mem and 0hd.  It appears that it should be supported
in s/linux.  And if I understand the specs I read, it takes standard
72pin simms (like those in my pc), correct.  Also, they come with a
built in monitor - right?

Anyway, how does it function, and is it worth messing with.

TIA,

Good sparc system?

[Chris Hoover]

I'd like to get a sparc based sun system to fiddle with, and was
wondering what a good beginner system would be.  Preferably, I'd like to
stay at or under $100 US.  I've seen several SLC's, IPX's, and some
SparcStations for sale at ebay.com in my range.  Is one of these better
than the rest, or should I look for something better.  

Also, if spending a little more money would dramatically increase the
speed / upgradablility / over all value of the system, I'd consider it.

Also, what would be a good price for the system?  Coming from the ix86
realm, I don't know much about telling a good deal from a bad one.

Thanks,

Chris
