I've got an SS20 that's about to go out with our computer recycling. Was working when pulled from service. Let me know SOON if you want it. Bruce Bruce Broecker Network Comm Supervisor The Toro Company >>> adamm at sihope.com 10/13/03 08:55AM >>> 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.
