Hi everybody,
as I don't recall seeing this offer around here (may be just rusty memory on my side
however...), I thought I'd forward this for good measure.
I'm considering making the 2k mi trip together with my Dad but would do so only as a
last resort to save the machine from being scrapped.
I think I have some excess CPU boards, maybe a clock board, spacers and PCU/fan boxes from
a gutted E4k class machine here (southern Germany) so I might be able to help people
looking for parts.
So long,
Arno // DO4NAK

In spite of my efforts to find a good home for my 18x250MHz Sun Enterprise E6000 a couple
of months ago, I still have it. Unfortunately, the house is now sold and the E6000 needs
to be gone by next Sunday.I can store it at work for a few weeks whilst sorting out
shipping etc for any takers.
I am located on the Isle of Man, so most of you won't be able to just drive round and
pick it up!
Thus I'm willing to split it up into it's constituent modules - if you need PCMs,
CPU/Mem boards, I/O boards, a disk board, clock module, peripheral power supply, Sun FC
transcievers, memory DIMMs, QFE SBus cards, keyswitch module, peripheral cable harness,
etc to keep your E3000/4000/5000/6000 sprightly and running,*please* drop me a line,
ASAP. At a pinch, I might even be able to extract the 16-slot Gigaplane backplane from the
steel chassis.
Alternatively, if you know of anyone else who might be interested,*please* pass this
message and my email-address on to them.
I'll post the full list of component modules/parts here in a day or so.

(I'm trying a second time, to cctalk, now as it seems I fell out of the classiccmp
universe somewhere around 2016-17. Sorry if this appears twice. Hadn't actually
realized this as I subscribe to several digests of related topics, seems like it was a
somewhat gradual process of cctalk seemingly "drying up". Funnily I can't
even get an email reminder into my inbox to check whether something got upset in my
account settings.)
