VINTAGE 1989 SUN Microsystems STORAGE ARRAY Model 511 P/N 595-1372-01 RARE

I used to work with SUN hardware in the 90s but I've never seen one of these! Details and observations as follows. Date on Casing 7th September 1989.

Cabinet also contains a 150MB QIC Tape Drive (Quarter Inch Cartridge tape) This is UNTESTED. You'll notice in photo 8 that DRIVE CONFIG shows HDD is Micropolis 1355, however, disk installed is actually.

I've never seen this type of'3 rows of pins SCSI' connector before and this Lot also includes the. 3 rows of pins SCSI' to 50-pin fast/wide cables along with the. I did connect power to the Unit and the fans spin-up and the red LED on the HDD blinks so I think the power supply is OK. You can hear the hard-disk winding down when you turn the Unit off too.

Not sure whether anyone will actually be able to make use of this item - it may of more interest to collectors or enthusiasts. Please be aware that some of the plastic grille is cracked on the bottom right shown in photos 1 and 2. Quite a heavy item, weighing-in at 15kg.
