Fetched Solaris 9 CDROM images yesterday, unpacked, copied, etc.
Manipulating these 600+ MB files totally kills the machine
(with 256 MB memory). Keystrokes are reacted to after half a minute.
It is impossible to use the mouse since the kernel is too slow
to accept mouse packets within its self-imposed timeout, so that
the logs are full of
psmouse.c: Lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
The clock lost somewhat over 10 minutes.
This is really primitive behaviour.

Was the cdrom in dma mode? Does ""hdparm -d 1 /dev/cdrom" work?
How much swap do you have?

There is no such thing as obsolete hardware.
Merely hardware that other people don't want.
