I designed this system when I worked @ Sun (along with 2 other guys) back in the 85+ timeframe. It was Sun's first implementation of the Sun3 architecture based around the 68020 and avb's MMU utilizing the platform (2/160) already in existence (this was a follow on from the 2/120 which was Multibus based). Glad to see there are still a few out there.
You designed it and my group built it; I can still remember Long testing systems in 1986..... :)
Murph...long time, no see. We worked together n the 386i....I hope all is going well.
PLEASEMAKE VIDEOS ABOUT IT THERES HARDLY AND SUN CONTENT
I've got one too in my Sun3 collection, along with a 3/50, 3/60 , 3/80 and 3/110. It made a big pop a few years back but I haven't had a chance to investigate yet. The VME bus is a pain to troubleshoot though since you cant easily access and probe the energized boards.
I love old computers full of hundreds of small DIP packages, all socketed of course because it's not like today where you break 3 laws and 2 warranties trying to fix something on a piece of hardware you bought.
I learned to program in C on one of those (though some might debate that assertion !) using the incredibly fancy IDE of vi and the Sun compiler.
31 years old computer... still cleaner than my everyday computer
I love moments like this on Computerphile. Such a diverse series!
Am I not supposed to be here yet?
16:20 I remember from the 90's that you had to pick the right jumpers for some devices, and that you can't have 2 devices sharing the same ID. Check the jumpers on that drive. Also, a terminator has to go at the end of the chain.
Still waiting for him to actually get the damn thing booted
1:35 lol, this is a hardcore on/off switch, none of that "push the button and let CPU decide what should happen" nonsense, this is the real "your power is now off, deal with it" deal.
Damn Oracle for revoking free use of Solaris and greatly reducing the benefits ZFS could have given us!
@@coderamen666 I am somewhat familiar with it.
Thanks for the reupload, those green flashes were very offputting.
Then watch it on your first monitor?
"You can still get descendants of this to run Oracle databases". So... this is what it feels like...
Old computer fascinate me for some reason. Great video!
If you found this video interesting, and you want to learn more about Sun workstations and servers (especially their giant flagship server from the late 90s/early 2000s called the Sun Enterprise 10000) then you absolutely MUST check out a channel here on RUclips called 'jpkiwigeek'. Absolutely fascinating! I've been subscribed to him for gosh, years and years now. I've watched and re-watched every single one of his videos and have absorbed so much info by osmosis.
The network card uses a sifferent bus, I think Multibus,. The glue logic adapts it to VME. I also think that the adaptec(?) card was some kind of ST506 controller, obviously for the SCSI bus. VME is an industrial standard. Btw, the 3 denotes the architecture, 32-bit 68020/030, the 1 for 100 is the specific cpu board, and 60 is the case type. Unless I’m too old to remember. :)
I can listen to Steve Bagley all day. Too bad we don't have lecturers like him at my university.

0x00000010 MB of RAM meaning 16MB. Do all Sun engeneers think in hexadecimal?
the fact that you have to explain AUI and yellowcable to people makes me feel old.
I saw you had a SyQuest EZ135 external drive in the background. I used to have one of those when I was in college around 1996.
He used an atari to talk to a sun system. This is beyond epic! :D
holy cow, this is not a re-upload . . . it's a tear in spacetime
I remember working on a VME architecture-based system for some paging terminals running Microware OS-9 lol. Thank you for posting
Enthralling. Hope the next episode doesn't skip my sub feed.

I love these videos. No, I'm not a nerd. Computerphile is just that awesome!!
The 'head' including tape drive and cards could be plugged into sun Cray unit for 'remodulation' periodic upgrades, yeah, or converted into unit for other uses etc, multi modular design 'microsystems'.
...what just happened.
I remember 20+ years ago, electronic equipment power supplies were blown into fault after dust cleaning was done. There was so much dust than the removal of dust cool the power supplies and the capacitors/transformers blew after several hours/days. As One technician used to joke, "if no longer working after dusting, then replace the dust".
Such a tease.
I read the title, and I thought the video was going to be about reëncoding video on a Sun workstation. It took me a good minute to realize as I was reading the description lol.
Control Data ->ETA ... ETA used Sun Microsystems mini-comperters as peripheral processors in the late '80's and early '90's. (I was there)
Bloody hell I got excited for a new video and then understood the title
The amiga 1200 ran a cut-down version of the 68020 processor, i have one with a 68030 upgrade card.. amazing, the amount of ram chips on that board!!
Saw the previous version, but I still have to say "Pat" was a great name for a mail server!
i like the inknown at the end so awsome i love this stuff
Episode title really should have been "Sheriff of Nottingham"
We built an Amoeba out of one of those chassis with a bunch of 3/60 system boards, and strung thinner between them. :)
I like how the backplane is actually in the front.
imagine working so hard for so many years as a computer, just to retire being used as a coffee table
I just interviewed the former CEO of Sun Microsystems, what an amazing guy! He is second to none in terms of incredible CEO's and creating an exceptional corporate culture. If you are interested go check it out --> Episode #05 of Tahoe Minds!
Anyone care to explain the "Pat" joke?
I thought this video seemed familiar.
I thought it was going to be about a special EPROM chip that can be programmed by flashing green light onto it or something!
It's crazy to think, Dr. Bagley's Apple Watch has more processing power, storage and memory than this behemoth!
VME is still well used....you should get one of those serial2Hays2wifi deals that connects directly to the serial port...
That looks about the size of the Sparc based server I helped run at school.
This is a re-upload, isn't it?
I'm watching this on a tablet with 2 gigs of ram.
why was the vido reuploaded?
ohh you edited out the green flashes. ok.
*cries out in pain because of those poor fans being forcefully rotated*
We use VME stuff at the Gemini Observatory... old stuff
Thanks this is really interesting
Sparc servers running Solaris (5.)12 - I work with farms of these (as a user, through a workload distributor). Powerful, robust, and fast.
Menachem Salomon this is a Sun 3 architecture machine, even older. Sparc was Sun4 (which is shows in the output of uname). It also ran the BSD-based SunOS, before they converted to SysV and branded it Solaris.
saw another video of an SGI Onyx Machine and its boards are disposed like this
what was that music at 14:14 ?
The song's name is "Color I Love You" by Jincheng Zhang
Any relation to Jim Bagley?
Fixes old computer from 30 years ago. Try doing that with a 4th gen ipod touch that is just 4 years old.
board with the battery is the RTC.
no audio?
Nice, I was interested in old sun micro systems that I fund in oracle, now oracle makes 16 core chips.
i’m sorry to bother you again pats neph on road lot of people need to know the truth
I regret ditching mine It did live for awhile as end table lol.
Can you do a video on what causes the encoding issues?
+Ethan J not strictly about what caused them but: ruclips.net/video/V5V33iWXuaU/видео.html
20y old videos, he still using CRT
you really now how to get the max from your monitor screen size
Oh no! The front fell off!
this is pat salvatore’s nephew
that things as old as I am.
dat airflow tho
i got a sparcstation
Sounds like a metalwork lathe.
interesting...
it’s a 95
Who else pauses videos to see what kinda books people have on their shelves?
reminds my own beloved 3/60 :-/
i want to keep this toyota rolling corralla
That reminds me to fix the ethernet flash of my Ultra 5...
need driving support
déjà vu
Why was that girl running? 14:53
nineteenth!!!!!!!!!!11!11!!!
i got a lot of work to do in cols ohio
5th
Second! :D
third?
First :D
