Unfortunatly, I don't have a spare, but FYI any
cdrom drive that supports a
512-byte block size (either jumperable or when requested by the host system)
will boot Suns and let you install SunOS/Solaris. Older NECs (maybe newer
ones too, I haven't used any) and Plextor drives of any vintage work great for
this.
Thanks for the info Dan. One of the list members made me a VERY good
offer on a sun drive in a 411 box so I'm going after that. :) I still
need to pick up a 10BaseT SBUS board as well as a cheap framebuffer and a
Sun -> PC display & mouse/keyboard adaptor so I can use my existing KVM.
After I've got the SS1 set up the way I need it (firewall), I think I'm
going to get a SS10 machine I can load up with RAM & CPU and use that for
other misc. amusements.
Tnx!
