<andlabs> hey Foone I mentioned a few times I had a piece of software for the Tandy VIS
<andlabs> well I finally dug it out while cleaning out my storage / putting things in more oragnized plastic boxes
<andlabs> (the reverse of the insert is blank and the back of the case is empty; I assume there was an outer box I don't have)
<nikitalita> andlabs: any news on vxworks st?
<andlabs> I have it now
<andlabs> not sure when I'll be able to get to it though
<andlabs> despite being a piece of big box software the tutorial CD is still included separately for some reason lol
<Foone> andlabs: neat! that's not one of the ones I have.
<andlabs> cool
<andlabs> ....hahahahaha (cc gewt)
<andlabs> I am now opening all the 90s workstations I bought
<gewt> nice
<andlabs> and I am starting to think the alphastation I bought is NOS
<andlabs> it came with a sealed documentation packet "CONTAINS CRYSTAL-X 9-76" that looks unused, it even includes a DECUS registration card
<andlabs> and the outer box is digital-branded
<gewt> OH AWESOME
<gewt> -CAPS
<andlabs> so now I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with this box lol
<andlabs> it's clearly not *pristine* - the seller put their invoice in it
<andlabs> "Powers on and makes odd noises"
<andlabs> ah it might be repackaged, not NOS
<andlabs> still
<andlabs> fooled me
<andlabs> this was from Excess
<andlabs> which I am now remembering I think you and Foone went to?
<Foone> yah
<andlabs> so not NOS but still close enough
<andlabs> ...holy hell this box from "ntctech" is *stapled* shut
<andlabs> what did I get from them
<andlabs> large staples even
<andlabs> and the answer: a Sun SPARC T3-1... which is a rackmount server lol
<andlabs> (I wanted something sparc64 that could run Solaris 11 and that was the cheapest)
<andlabs> I guess I now get to find out if the sterilite box I got is large enough to hold one
<andlabs> well it's absoltuely filthy and needs cleaning before I try but eyeballing it I think it will fit
<andlabs> also drive door 1 won't latch, yay
<andlabs> and actually after CRD's latest video I'm hoping I can get video out of this because otherwise what's the point lol
<andlabs> oh it has onboard video
