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)
