- hello,
-
- I have a few questions about the SPARCclassic:
-
- 1) I assume the OS comes preinstalled, but what if I want to reinstall it?
- Does a CDROM come with the machine (and boot disks)?
-
- 2) can the classic use non-sun CDROM drives? (and boot off of them)?
-
- 3) how much space is left on the 207 Mb HD after the OS is installed?
-
- 4) does the frame buffer take up an SBus slot? How many *total* slots
- are there?
-
- 5) can the classic be run multi-headed (multiple monitors)?
-
- 6) is the 19" grayscale monitor really grayscale? (or is it monochrome)?
- Could the grayscale be a better deal than the 15" color?
-
- 7) can the monitor be deleted? can the classic run with non-sun
- monitors?
-
- 8) which of the available monitors are Trinitrons?
-
- 9) what's a good price for classic memory?
-
- 10) does the HD have to be reformatted if the machine is turned on its
- side?
-
- 11) doesn't it look silly with a 19" monitor on top of it? :-)
-
- more questions later,
-
- thank you for your time,
-
