It'll be cool to boot some SunOS!

I'm also was surprised that the most of the old free stuff has disappeared just like this. Spent something like an hour till I could download the last(!) version of Debian(!) which supported sun4m machines. Never expected problems with it as Debian is known for its over-conservatism.

And the pre-2000 stuff is much harder to find.

Maybe we should start a museum project? (Do you have a connections in .gov to get it funded? 😉 )

As for BSD games, just hold on a few days more and you'll be able to run them under SunOS 4.1.x (which was a BSD-based and had a bundled C compiler).
