Sun SparcStation 10: Surya
``Surya'' is a Sun SparcStation 20 (32-bit RISC processor) with 128MiB of RAM, dual ROSS HyperSparc 90s, and a SCSI Seagate ST34520N 4.3GiB harddrive, running NETBSD2.0-beta. I have a Iomega Jazz drive hooked up to the external SCSI port to handle backups. Surya acts as my primary Kerberos KDC (for which it is surely overkill).
Here's a picture of Surya in one of cheap wooden "racks":
Surya was my first 32-bit Sun workstation, and the name began life attached to a SparcStation 10. The first Surya had it's power supply die in January of 2005. I moved the hard drive over to a SparcStation 20 that I had acquired (with better specs, too!) and Surya lived again. Thanks to Mark C. from the netbsd-sparc@ email list, who graciously offered me a spare SS10 power supply he had, I had the original SparcStation 10 up and running again, where it first served as Utu and then as Ares.
There's some technical details on the SS10 at Obsolyte, including a very important airflow diagram (these things get hot with multiple CPUs!) and some notes on visually identify the various mbus CPU modules.
There's a great guide to mbus CPUs in general at sunhelp.
There's a great page on the SS5 (which uses the same case as the SS20) with includes some pictures of a case mod to add some much-needed fans for cooling.
