March 22nd, 2018:

	The battery-hacked NVRAM chips for my Sparcstations IPX and IPC 
arrived last night.  I haven't had a chance to look at them yet (haven't 
even opened the shipping box), but am hoping to install one or the other 
this weekend.

I don't know that I'll reinstall Solaris 7 on the IPX.  It was running 
just fine the last time I used it, so I'll likely keep it the way it is.  
The IPC, however, is another story.  It was my cohort Slam's system, and 
I'm not certain what OS he had running on it.  It has 24Mb of RAM and a 
250Mb hard drive, so I can't imagine he did much with it.  Hell, I don't 
remember seeing it in the lab after his initial experiments...

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the IPC.  It should run Solaris 2.6 
or 7 just fine, although I'm inclined to install a recent NetBSD just to 
have more... contemporary apps.  I doubt I'll install X, will probably 
keep it character-based, as it only has an unaccelerated 8-bit cgthree 
video card built in.  Of course, if I max out the RAM at 48Mb and install 
a larger hard drive, I could always run Windowmaker in greyscale and 
pretend it's a NeXT machine (lol)!

Sigh.  Decisions, decisions...
