That reminds me. I have an SS-20 that died on me (SCSI controller on mainboard released the magic blue smoke). If anyone wants to salvage any of the parts for a really good price, please let me know. I believe I had: 256MB RAM (2) 90MHz Ross HyperSparc processors (2) small (1 or 2GB) SCSI disks (1) drivesled (1) drivesled made of lego's, rubber bands, and a piece of paper* And obviously, the SS20 pizza box, NVRAM, and dead board *Piece of paper not included. Lego(tm) drivesled also compatible with the IBM PS/2 and DEC Avanti systems. Lego is a registered trademark of Lego Corporation, Denmark. May void warranty. Piece of paper may catch fire. WARNING: Use of Lego drive-sled may attract Lego-men, Lego-women, and Lego-horses, which could result in a small but advanced Lego civilization forming in your computer. Safe and humane removal of Lego villages is the customer's responsibility. I also seem to be stockpiling SBus framebuffers. I must have half a dozen at least, and I've never bothered to purchase the Sun->VGA adapter, so I've always just pulled them out of my boxes and threw them into storage. I really got the shaft on this thing. I bought it at a really good price a couple of years ago, and decided to double the ram and buy a second processor for it. About 3 months after the upgrade the board died. Rather than try and replace the board, I just moved to an Ultra and left the SS20 in the closet. If anyone wants to try and find an SS-20 board, I'll part with the system as-is cheap. Or if you know where I can get a *really* good deal on the board myself, I may buy it and resurrect the machine at home. On Sun, 2003-10-12 at 16:05, Michael H.
