Sparcclassic Online

Added 2023-07-29 00:26:38 +0000 UTC

It has been a busy week wrapping up the final last steps of the Sparcclassic restoration, and bringing it back to life with a directly connected modem for inbound dialing!

The modem was a bit more frustrating than expected, there were way too many "garbled text" messages we got. So, looking forward to moving on to terminal servers later for modem testing and retro connections.

We want to make the Sparcclassic usable for shell users, it looks like we'll need to re-install Solaris again with a better FS layout and then bring in some GNU software.

We are planning to get it ready for our Patrons to login to after that. The access would be via an ssh gateway, or some web-based terminal, or both. We're open to feedback from anyone interested.

Thanks again for your support, it means a lot and helps us keep moving forward on these projects and videos
