Summary

This lovely SPARCserver 20 is the ChivaNet web and mail server. It contains 2x 73.1GB U320SCSI hard drives, and mounts the storage server over NFS. It's bedecked with an SBus QFE (Quad Fast Ethernet) board, as it is multi-homed.

Provenance

Joel Martinez acquired this machine in around 2002, and it involved a trip out to Truth or Consequences to be picked up. Included a DDS2 tape drive and external HDD enclosure, which were lost in the Storage Unit Tragedy of 2004. This machine was believed to have also been lost in that tragedy, but was found on the top shelf of the datashed at the beginning of its renovation, wrapped in black plastic bags. Still worked, but needed a new RTC chip.
