I have an SS5 and the plastic bracket that holds the SCSI backplane in
place, shattered. The thing is so brittle. I tried to epoxy it back
together but that failed miserably.
I do 3-D modeling with Creo and I'll model it and have a new one printed
somewhere. I'll have to pop open my SS20 to see if it's the same bracket.

it was kind of a general question, but I have a

it would be nice to put a second disk into. Also SGI indigo and Indy that
I think needed caddies...it's been so long. I bought them but never
followed up, not having had any experience in my working life.
I had a stack of sparcstation 5s with no disk, hence needing caddies, but
I donated them to a local VCF. They were received with the hope of my
running a solaris install class at a local nonprofit when we didn't know
that had no disks.

What Sun 4c/4m things are folks looking for? With Shapeways shutting
down, I had incentive to figure out how to get decent prints out of my 3D
printer and finally did it over the weekend.
I have pre-sun4u Sun and similar vintage systems with good parts to
measure and make models from. I don’t really know what I am doing but I
have made models for car parts and custom furniture fasteners that turned
out well.
