[rescue] Re: Lily at Comdisco has more Ultra 30s (Fourty at last count!)

[Mike Dombrowski]

Just wanted to say that I too am a very satisfied Comdisco customer. 
I'll probably be buying some more systems from her for work.

>My friend Lily at Comdisco has gotten a bunch more Ultra 30s in stock, 
as well as a few other systems as well, and I wanted to let >everyone 
here know about them. Like before, these units have 300 MHz 2 MB CPUs, 
12x CD-ROMs, 4x 64 Meg DIMMs (256 Meg total), >and a 4 Gig HD - $350. 
Add a Creator framebuffer for under $100 and you are "rockin!" 
(IMHO)...

Now that I'm non-sickish I had time to fool around with my U30 some 
more. Took some air duster and electronics cleaner to it, redid all 
cables and it fired right up. Looks like I got shafted tho in my pick 
of unit, my deal is far worse than that one IMHO. U30 is a nice 
machine, decent case design though removing the PS to add ram is a 
hassle. And the lack of SBUS slots :P. But I really wish they'd added a 
third SCA connector in there, two is just not enough methinks. Anyway, 
is it possible for Solaris 8 to stripe across two disks?

Creator 3D Series 3 (X3663A), 12x CD-ROM, 4x 128 Meg DIMMs (512 Meg 
total), floppy, and 4 Gig HD. Again, that is $800 ;^)

That's a very good deal also, very small premium over above U30. Lets 
see, assume FB is $75 and 256mb ram is $100 then 2nd processor support 
is only $275.

>Ultra 1/170s are $250 with 128 Meg RAM, Creator Series 1 video, 4 Gig 
HD, and Country kit.

/me jumps up and down and makes noises about my Ultra 1 200e. 

On a somewhat related note I'm needing a 13W3->VGA adapter. I foolishly 
assumed all PCI Suns had HD15 and for now my U30 is sitting in the 
basement hooked up to the horrible 1642(?).
