I have the 32MB memory expansion card for my SPARCstation 2 (P/N 501-1823) but not the
accompanying cable (501-1814) or 32MB mezzanine card (501-1824).
Does anyone have either the cable or mezzanine card that they?d be willing to part with
for a reasonable price? I?ve only found sellers carrying them for hundreds of dollars
recently; I managed to snag the ?1823 from someone who was selling it far more reasonably,
probably because they didn?t know what they could get for it.

It?s possible to make the cable yourself, that?s what I did for my SS2.
Sounds like I need to dig through my Sun cards, I think I have a second 501-1823.

Of course I meant 530-1814 as the Sun part number for the cable.
We deeply regret such grievous inaccuracy.

You can make the cable out of a section of ribbon cable and
DuPont/FCI/whoever-owns-it-now Mini-Latch PV connector housings, I made
that up for one of my SS2s. Note that it'll interfere with the top closing
on a SPARCstation IPX, if you put the board in the slot closest to the
memory expansion socket. I believe the real Sun cable did, too.
I've got one of the 32MB mezzanine boards, I've thought about reproducing
it as it seems to be just RAM chips, no special ICs. There would be a
significant cost in having it (destructively) scanned and the original
would be gone.
Thanks,
Jonathan
