Rescuing a Pile of SPARC Workstations from the Scrap Heap

A retrocomputing enthusiast stumbled upon a Reddit post offering free, obsolete SPARC workstations. He embarked on a rescue mission, driving hours to collect a significant portion of the collection. The post details his experience bringing these machines – including a Sun Fire V100, Sun Netra T1, and several SPARCstation 2s – back to life, documenting the varying states of repair and the challenges encountered. It's a charming tale of passion for vintage technology and the satisfaction of restoring forgotten hardware.
