I picked up a SS10 yesterday. It was missing it's power supply but had
a 24bit framebuffer a 10/100 S-Bus nic, MBus processor module, some ram
and a hard drive. Seemed like a restorable pizza box and since I don't
have a 10 I bought it. I got it home and the Sun p/n guide tells me
that a SS10 uses the same power supply as a SS5. I have a couple of
spares for my 5's so I got one out. There is no way it's going to fit
in the chassis. The SS10 chassis has a beveled cast ridge where the
power supply should slide into. Is this a real SS10 or was the label
switched? Was there two different versions of the 10 chassis or power
supply?
I'd like to trace it all out and get it working but for a $10
investment, I can salvage out the parts and still feel that I got a good
deal.
