October 13th, 2015:

	I've had a bit of time to play in the lab, although not as much 
time as I'd have liked.  I've discovered the NVRAM/IDPROM in my Sun Ultra 
5 is dead, so I have to reprogram it every time I power it on... at least 
until I hack a couple of batteries onto it (or replace it altogether).  
Not the worst problem I could have, I'm just glad the system still works, 
considering the amount of time I have invested in the thing!

	My Sparc IPX, whose NVRAM is also dead (but has the battery hack 
installed) is chugging along just fine.  I have a network issue to sort 
out (le0 has been disabled while le1 is running, opposite to what I want) 
but that's a trivial task.  I'm planning on reinstalling Solaris 7 on the 
machine soon, using a bigger hard drive.  I kept running out of room after 
going hog-wild on the erstwhile SunFreeware site, and really need to pare 
the system down.  Much of what I had planned for the IPX has been 
offloaded to a Raspberry Pi, which frees the IPX for more... 
educational... purposes..
