Any DECStation and SparcStation display rom?

Postby luckiejacky » Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:36 pm

Just have no ideas what the names of the graphic cards are.
Could you please tell me if they exist somewhere in this site?
Thanks a lot

Hi,

I am not sure if I have any display card roms but we do have some BIOS and BOOT roms. Please see the link below for list. Also browse the BIOS area for other systems.

http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/inde ... m-Boot/SUN

I have several Sun Sparc's in the collection but none are available for me to boot. They are burried under a pile of other computers.

Another member here te_lanus may be able to provide something.

I have an update for you. If you check out our SUN BIOS rom section using the link in the above post, you will find three new files to try

sunw-SBus-bwtwo-501-1561.zip
sunw-SBus-cgthree-501-1415.zip
sun4-75-rev-2.9.zip

These rom images should be what you are looking for. There is also some good reading material at the following link

I hope this helps.
