To: Suns-At-Home@ecn.purdue.edu I changed my work location laterly and thus it's no longer feasible for me to borrow tape drive and CDROM from my office. Therefore I am thinking about buying a Sun shoebox and a Sun CDROM for my SS1 at home. The shoebox is the one with a Archive 150 MB tape drive on the front and it holds ext. HD inside with SCSI connection at the back. The CDROM is the lunchbox type. How much I expect to pay for these two items in the used Sun equipment market? One more question. I just replaced a nvram in my SS1. Other than having to reset some values using the eeprom command, everything works out OK. However, I noticed something interesting. My SS1 has got 24 MEG on the motherboard, 16 MEGs of them are - 70ns - type made by Simmens, Germany. It looks like these memory chips were added in by the previous owner of my SS1 when higher speed memory was cheap. I wonder whether these chips are fast enough for SS2 CPU? Yeah, the other 8 MEGs memory on my SS1 motherboard are provided by 100 ns Panasonic chips. No extra luck there. Thanks for any pointers.
