SunOS 4.1.4

Dear forum,

I wonder if any one can help me out ?

I'm from the University of Kent and we have an old Sparc-Ultra which runs our Scanning Electron Microscope. Unfortunately i've just had to rebuild the machine and the only Operating System the microscope software runs under is SunOS 4.1.4.

Of course, everyone here threw away their SunOS4 media years ago!

Does anyone have a CD/tape image, or know an e-mail address of somebody at Sun who may be able to help ?

Many thanks in advance.

Dr Mark Price

Dr. P,

Which precise model of computer?

If there is an OS of any sort on it at the present time, do ...

<b>uname -a</b>

Otherwise power it on and halt it at the OBP level.

From the OK prompt, do ...

<b>banner</b>

If it is indeed a system with an UltraSPARC cpu in it, I do not believe it can run SunOS 4.x

You would need to install a compatible OS distribution that is compatible with the hardware.

Get back to us with the output from either command and we'll see if we're able to be of further help.
