That's what I get for posting when I'm half-asleep... You are quite
correct. The machine is actually a SparcStation 20 pizza-box.

Where? The SUN Sparc2 (4/75) motherboard has a pair of internal
50-pin narrow SCSI connectors for internal drives, and a "SCSI-2"
50-pin external connector for external disks/tapes.
Do you mean an Ultra2? Do you have a replacement motherboard?
Interestingly I always thought that SCA-80 was a relatively recent
addition to the SCSI fold, but a few months ago I acquired a Seagate(?)
1GB drive with an SCA-80 interface. So it's obviously not as recent
as I thought.
That connector has been around for at least 15 years. ?I think I saw a
500MB Seagate drive with an SCA connector once, but those weren't
common. ?There were lots of 1GB and 2GB drives with SCA connectors.
The oldest machine I've personally used that had internal SCA
connectors is a SPARC5.
