I have a set of GPIO boards for my PDP-11s, I’ve been wanting to turn one of them into a G-code interpreter.
I like old radios, old computers, and computing history. I teach Computer Science as a vocation.

I have/had nothing to do with retrocomputing on any large corporate sites, but I’m a mod on https://retrocomputingforum.com/ and look forward to seeing what happens here. I don’t necessarily need or want a mod role, but I’m happy to help out in any way I can.
I agree with all of this.
For me, I think the best “I want the SPARC experience with minimum fuss” boxes are the SS 5/20 (which are very similar machines, the SS20 is sort of a multiprocessor SS5) or the Ultra 1/2 desktop workstations. All of those are SBUS machines (there are PCI machines with the Ultra 2 CPU and chipset, too, I think, but they’re not just called “Ultra 2”?).
I also think of Solaris 7 as peak Solaris, I don’t think you’re alone there @PAPPP@lemmy.sdf.org . If you want something past Solaris 7, just go with OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/etc. and do “new Solaris” whole hog.
