Do you know of a good supplier for Sun-3 parts? I
have most (chassis,
SMD/SCSI/tape, memory) from a Sun 3/280 which I'd really like to get
running. All I need is a power supply and the actual CPU.
Where did the supply go? It should be built into the chassis.
It seems that the government has been dumping quit a few Sun-3/280s in 6
foot racks (with two 14" disks and a 1/2" tape). I can keep a look out
for one for parts.
At least some were upgraded to 4/280s - you will have to check the CPU if
you find one. As far as SPARCs go, it is slow.
The annoying thing about the 4/2xx CPUs is they require a goofy, very
high res Sun specific mono screen.
