it was kind of a general question, but I have a sparcstation 5 or two that 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.
