Bunch of Sun SCSI devices
Posted by: tecneeq on 2022-10-24 04:14:44
A CD Rom, a hard disk and two tape drives, also 4 new 12GB tapes. The hard disk is tested and works with a SE/30. I replaced the 5 1/2 inch Sun disk with a 3 1/4 inch IBM disk, which according to Lido not only seeks faster, but is also a lot less noisy.
I think i'll keep this and sell my Rodime Systems Cobra disk.

Well done sir! I have a few Sun SCSI devices myself and I like them.

The industrial design of these is cool, always liked the look of them. They don't look out of place with Mac stuff.

Sadly i was to late for the Sun server that this stuff belonged to, Sun Enterprise something, something. Looked like a small fridge.

That's a nice stack of Sun goodness!

That should be 3.5 inch Sun disk with 2.5 inch IBM disk.

I looked for a nice printable adapter, but didn't find one. Amazon carton (under the disk) and garden string it is then:

That disk is going nowhere for now.
