I've got a bunch of 1GB SCA SCSI drives; 2 of them even including the sparc drive sleds. if your sparc has an SCA rack, I'll happily sell those off (they're no good to me right now, since my sparc 5 has a dead internal SCSI bus). if you have narrow SCSI connectors, any narrow SCSI drive should do (AFAIK). if you don't mind the noise, I've got a 1GB Micropolis drive that came out of a sparc 10. sparcs are a lot more particular about their CD-ROM drives, tho. you need one that will run at a 512-byte blocksize, rather than 2K. I have a Sun CD-ROM drive that I'll happily loan, since I'm not using it right now. Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
