That sounds like a very very nice system.
How big is it? I
run a SPARCstation 20 and a SPARCserver 20 MP.
Of course what I drool over are the dual 50Mhz M-Bus modules that will
let you turn a Sparc 20 into a Quad-processor box. Not that I would
have any use at all for a system with them in it.
Got them - SM52 modules - and they're a recipe for disaster in an
SS20. Way too hot, way too close together, and not nearly enough
aorflow.
Want a SPARCServer1000? With a fully-populated SSA 100 and the
aforementioned SM52s? Boots, runs, has CD-ROM and original drives, 2
system boards and I think 512MB RAM. Keyswitch is gutted and ugly, but
functional. The SSA comes with the SBUS interface and a full load of
2GB drives. No fiber cable, though. BTW, anyone ever try the S-Bus expansion boxes,
or 16-port serial
cards in an Ultra 2? I'm wondering if such things will work in a U2.
