Ian,

Well, I've got a Sun 2/120 here, and a Sun 3 that I'm in the middle  
of restoring.
I've got some work to do on the 2/120 (I'm looking for the original  
face plate... I've
got all the metal skins, but not the front plastic part) but it was  
functional when
I got it... though there may be some issues with the power supply.

In a week or so, I'm going to pick up a 1/4 van full of Sun 3 parts  
(which may
include some multibus cards... I've seen some that were in some  
adapters for
VME slots).  Once I get the pile of stuff and find out what I  
actually have, I'll be
posting about the extra pieces here and a couple of other lists...  
You mentioned
memory cards, anything else you need?

Also, I've got Sun FEH's that go back to Sun 1's... parts of it are  
dated in the
late 80's, so it's been fairly handy.  I'm staring at a page for a  
Sun 2 Color
Video card, so it's got stuff back to that era.   I don't have it  
scanned, but
can probably help out if you've got part numbers...
