The Tadpole with the 50MHz PowerPC processor was sold as an IBM N40.
I have one of those too.

Yes the IBMs are worth tracking down.  I always keep my eye out but rarely
see them come up for sale but it'd be fun to have an RS/6000 that doesn't
cause a hernia to move. My only similar one is a tadpole but I don't recall
the version.  I used a universal power supply to get it to run for a little
while but then I'm pretty sure the backlight on the lcd popped and went
out. So I'm also a member of the almost but not quite functioning owners
club. :-)  Would gladly get rid of some Ultras if I could upgrade to a

I got one together with my Voyager, but sorry not for sale ;)

Does anyone got an answer from the seller? How much you offered for
one Tadpole?

I have about 15 SPARC based lugables and laptops. Some are TRIgem/RDI
Britelites that have an IPC/IPX/LX motherboard inside, three Voyagers, the
rest are Tadpole SB2, SB3, SB3GX, and Ultrabooks.



oh!  Do you, by chance, know where I can find either install media

a bonus.


  I have an SB2 with a dying HDD.  I also have a 2.5" SCSI-IDE adapter, 
so I'd like to get it going again. This would likely be a bootp-based 
installation.

There's also the S3000 in that category (luggable SPARCs). On the RS/6000
ThinkPad side, I have an 860 and a currently refusing-to-boot 800.


Are the 860 and 800 worth hutning down?

All of them have 2.5" SCSI drives as well I assume.

You are talking about the Solbourne IDT S3000, right?

Anyone here know where, aside from the ones on eBay now, to buy a Solbourne now?

For SPARC, there are also RDI BriteLites, Sun lunchbox system boards in 
laptop-ish cases, and PowerLites (which are SPARC systems despite ‘Power’ in 
the name).

I had a Digital HiNote Ultra II that I bought new just coming out of high 
school back in '96.
If I recall correctly, it had a Pentium 100MHz CPU.  I think I had it up to 
32MB of RAM,
don't recall the hard drive, but it had a funky wedge-shaped detatchable 3.5" 
floppy drive
that went underneath it.  Cool system; I remember running some version of Linux 
on it
after I got tired of Windows 95.  With the floppy detatched, it was very thin.

I remember going for it over some Toshiba (I think) because it had a better 
screen,
despite the slightly slower processor (the other was 133MHz).

Re: Sparc Laptops

I have a Tadpole S1 but before I could so much the disk drive stopped working. 
I've not had much time to figure out what the problem was. It acts like it 
isn't getting power to the drive but I've not been able to get schematics for 
that part of the machine. I have schematics for the processor part ( that is 
working fine ) but nothing for the I/O bus part.

Let's hope that can change and we can save some of them. Anything 
non-x86 from Tadpole is interesting for many here I think. I would love

That seems surprising, since everyone I know is after SPARC laptops of
some kind and are willing to pay decent money. I have a Tadpole and the
rebadged Sun Ultra-3 myself.

Re: Sparc Laptops

[Alan Perry via cctalk]

I am looking for the older SPARCbook laptops from Tadpole.

I have been going back and forth this morning on whether to try and get 
one of those UltraSPARC laptops.

If more are wanted than these 6 please let me know. Maybe I can scare up

Oh, very nice laptops.

I think practically everybody here could be wanting one ( think I've never
managed to  see one showing up in europe )
