NOTES

@ - Weitek produced a CPU upgrade for these machines known as the “POWERuP” chip. Both the standard and the Weitek CPU versions will run Linux.

* - While most of these machines shipped as standard with drives, it was also possible to order systems without floppy and/or hard drive(s).

SPARCstation model (Sun4m Architecture)

Name Number SBus Slots Max Mem Floppy Disk Comment
Classic 4/15 2 96MB YES YES 1 disk, 10base-T + parallel port
SPARCstationLX 4/30 2 96MB YES YES 1 disk, 10base-T, parallel + ISDN
SPARCstation5 N/A 3 256MB NO YES 2 disk, 10base-T, CDROM

SPARCstation20 N/A 4 (+ 4 CPU) 512MB NO YES 2 disk, 10Base-T, CDROM

NOTES

Both the SPARCstation 10 and 20 support multiple CPUs. There is a symmetrical multi-processing kernel available from the SPARC Linux archive site.

The comment “2 disk” indicates that the chassis has spaces for two hard drives. It does not indicate that two drives are fitted as standard.
