Well, I don't know about Sparc clones, but a real Sparc defaults to putting the console on the first serial port if it doesn't detect a keyboard. So, hook up a null modem cable to some other machine, connect a terminal program to it at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, then power up the clone without a keyboard. I would expect to see a banner saying what kind of cpu/memory at least, but again that's with a real sparc. Your milage may vary... |

Subject: [gentoo-sparc] how to figure out what an ultrasparc clone is, exactly, before boot (ie by name, pictures, model #, etc) |

Hello all, |
| 13 |
I have recently gotten an ultrasparc clone and I want to identify it, I |
| 14 |
didn't manage to get much info from the guy who gave it to me, and he |
| 15 |
took the drive out too, company data and all. :) Anyway, I will buy a |
| 16 |
new scsi drive but I need to figure out what this thing is, mostly to |
| 17 |
satisfy my curiosity, and also to prepare to install upon it. Anyway, |
| 18 |
are there any sites that specialize in identifying info on ultrasparc |
| 19 |
clones? It has a vga frame buffer in it but, it doesn't product anything |
| 20 |
on my monitor. It was good working when he powered it down, and took out |
| 21 |
the drive. Anyway, any ideas? |
| 22 |
