       @miah @joelitics @dangoodin @lyda lack of /dev/[u]random on #Solaris was such a pain. When Jonathan Schwartz (?) said that #Sun would treat incompatibility with Linux as a bug, I got that bug filed by a service request and it was implemented not long afterwards.

       @foone I’m saddened by all those that feel limited to just a couple serial ports. May I introduce the Digi SCSI Terminal Server, giving you an additional 8 serial ports off your SCSI bus. Of course, you can daisy chain 7 of them per bus. With a few dual port SCSI cards and a tall stack of cash, imagine the possibilities!https://www.artisantg.com/TestMeasurement/46497-2/Digi-STS-1008-SCSI-Terminal-ServerBack in the day I think I had a 16+ port version of this that I used for remote access to Sun and HP servers via their serial consoles.

       Always good to have a backup plan. If new spark plugs don’t fix it you may need to just shoot it instead.

       @alanc I’m still sad that /usr/has/bin only survived for a few builds.
