Operating Systems Solaris Please help me pick a machine Post 302070552 by dsbeerf on Wednesday 5th of April 2006 05:19:23 PM

May I suggest, if you intend to keep the machine for a while, to look on eBay for a Sun Blade 1000 !

You can get a single 900 MHZ with good config (RAM, disk, etc), or a dual 750 MHZ similarly configured for right around $ 800 (US).

The reason I recommend these is longevity. They are newer and will last longer, they are REAL Sun machines. The Blade 100 & 150 are PCs, with a SPARC stuck on them, and are not built as well as a "Sun Server". The Blade 1000 & 2000 use the same CPU as the servers, and the same ECC memory, power supply, (type of) motherboard, etc.. They are built WAY better.

Also, the Blade 1000 accepts a USB keyboard, so if you use a PC or Mac, you can have a KVM switch that works with all the machines you have !

NAME
grbeep - Platform-dependent beep driver for SMBus-based hardware SYNOPSIS
beep@unit-address DESCRIPTION
The grbeep driver generates beeps on platforms (including Sun Blade 100, 150, 1500, 2500) that use SMBbus-based registers and USB key- boards. When the KIOCCMD ioctl is issued to the USB keyboard module (see usbkbm(7M)) with command KBD_CMD_BELL/KBD_CMD_NOBELL, usbkbm(7M) passes the request to the grbeep driver to turn the beep on and off, respectively.
