I have a Sun Ultra Sparc 5 workstation still in working order. With two hard drives, floppy, CD.
"Back in the day" I would leave it idling in the basement running a Samba server But after some power failures and my poor responses to fsck, I managed to end up with a corrupted name_to_major file on the primary boot disk I've recently tried to get the software in working order, to recover any useful files, and sell the system. I replaced the TOY chip. And used a Solaris 9 CD to boot the system. I tried various ways to rebuild that file, but failed. Eventually, I asked the Solaris CD to rebuild the system slice. (I only really care about the data slices) It decided on the system slice on the second disk in the system,(which also had an older version of Solaris on it) and I can now boot that. So now that I have a running basic Solaris 9 system, I'm looking for any of the Supplemental software disks with any useful tools on them. It seems that the old time Sun websites are drying up and this is too old for the ones I found to carry. Does anyone know any current online sources I could get these disk images? Thanks, Dave.
