Sun SparcStation 20->10: Ares
``Ares'' was a Sun SparcStation 20 with 64MiB of RAM, dual 50MHz 32-bit Sparc CPUs with 1MiB of cache each running NetbSD 2.0.2. It eventually became a SparcStation 10 (explained below). It originally had an original SCA SCSI Seagate ST31200W 1GiB harddrive, but it proved to be overly noisy (an second drive of an identical model was also excessively noisy) and so was swapped for an IBM 7200RPM 4.51GiB drive. It has a large Sun-branded monochrome fixed-frequency monitor, which gives exceedingly clear text. Brad and I put it together out of our collective sparc Sparc bits for a friend of ours.
Here's a generic picture of a SparcStation 20:
Note that, while it looks similar to a SparcStation 10, the cases are in fact different and the internals are very different. Thus I couldn't raid this box for it's power supply or hard drive when the one in Surya died. However, the important bits (mbus and sbus cards) are indeed swappable, and we ended up swapping cases with Utu. Thus, while Ares is labelled a SparcStation 20, that's only true from a historical perspective ;-)
