The “old” Collection

The PHINTAGE collection of today is the new collection. I had already a collection of mostly UNIX machines in the early 2000s, that I eventually sold off, due to lack of interest and time and other priorities.

Here’s a recap of all machines, that I originally had.
The one in italics is machines that I’m trying to re-add to the collection, whilst the ones in bold are still in posession to this day.

  • SGI Indy R5000 (reacquired, though not yet documented)
  • SGI INDIGO2 R5000
  • SGI O2 R10000
  • Digital AlphaStation 500 (2x)
  • Digital Person Workstation 433au
  • SUN Blade 500
  • SUN NETRA T1
  • SUN ENTERPRISE 450 (3x)
