Checking out a SUN SPARC station ELC tonight. It powers up, passes self test.
Boot fails because the CMOS RAM battery is dead, so it's lost boot config.
That's no problem, it's an ST MK48T02B-25 'TIMEKEEPER RAM' 2K x 8, which
is still available. Or I'll probably just cut open the tophat and connect
Can't comment on the monitor, but I haven't had good luck with modern 48T02
devices and old Sun systems. Apparently ST changed something in how the
clock section works, iirc it's timing related. Definitely rebuild your old
NVRAMs! I've got a little repair board I made up for it:

ouch that musta cause some chaos.

Because a "make an offer" can carry some risks of OFFENDING the seller, if
they had thought that the value was not in the same general range as your

Went to toggle in the RIM loader – huh !
Memory address 04 stuck low.
So either try another 4k core (after changing the jumpers)
or...
Trace the signal path.
