i860 based Risc Unix workstation - PCS Cadmus FX.1 aka Firebox - Unix V4 -- quite a rare system imo

It runs normal Solaris, and has a complete set of i860 development tools from Sky.

thanks, very neat indeed!

That's the MVX. A high end and pretty rare graphics accelerator. This site has some info and demo videos of what it can do.

Sun VX & MVX Visualization Accelerators

Wow, so much for impressing anyone with my NeXTdimension board

I'd be intrigued to run across any of these, but I doubt I could put it to good use!

Nope, its a Sky Computer Skybolt plugged into a Sun 4/260 system.

Interesting.
The company is still present, the website hasn't been updated since 2009.
Embedded High Performance Computing, MilSpec rugged systems, Mission Critical things etc. is their business.

Do you know where the 4/260 with the Skybolt you have once has been used for ?

I do, but with a lot of the systems that I have I am sworn to secrecy. Sorry.

No problem.
A few items i have here only could be rescued bc of the same reasons.

It is getting more and more difficult to save systems from those special places... :-(
