  • Tom Kearney Object Name: Sun Sparcstation IPX Vintage: C.1991 Synopsis: Sun Sparcstation IPX
    AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20121208.075 Accession Date: 8-Dec-2012 Accession By: Tom Kearney Object name: Sun Sparcstation IPX Vintage: c.1991 Synopsis: Sun Sparcstation IPX. S/N: 600-2791-04 213M1236. Description: The Sun Sparcstation IPX is a workstation introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1991. It was designed to be an entry-level networked workstation. It is based on the SUN4C architecture, enclosed in a lunchbox chassis. It uses a Fujitsu MB86903 or Weitek W8701 40 MHz processor. Weitek provided 80MHz after-market "SPARC POWERuP!" (2000A-080 GCD) processors which worked well in an IPX but required a ROM update to v2.9. It has four 72-pin SIMM slots for memory expansion. The memory uses parity Fast Page Memory (FPM) SIMM's with speeds of 50-80ns. Slots can be filled individually giving a maximum of 64MB memory. Paired memory modules decrease access times via "bank interleaving" resulting in faster memory and overall system performance. Additional 32 and 64MB SBUS "Above Board" RAM expanders will fit and work in the IPX using the 8-pin J101 header which contains additional power and clock signals next to the DMA/Cache controller. The Sparcstation IPX also includes an on-board AMD Lance Ethernet chipset providing 10BaseT networking as standard and 10Base2 and 10Base5 via an AUI transceiver. The OpenBoot ROM is able to boot from network, using RARP and TFTP. Like all other SPARCstation systems, it holds system information such as MAC address and serial number in NVRAM. If the battery on this chip dies, then the system will not be able to boot.
