Just found a dead SM81 mbus module (501-2953), it comes up with a cache
error. If anyone has a legit use for this (tradein fodder, etc?) let me
know. Otherwise it might make a passable paperweight cast in lucite.
Ecrix VXA-1 tape drive. 33/66GB per tape, variable speed (no underruns to
worry about), 8mm media form factor, 6MB/s:

External case (blue LED), retails for about $1k, I have an almost brand
new drive (20 tapes have been through it max) with a couple tapes I'll let
go for $500. Fast/narrow SCSI, includes a Solaris st.conf line to select
tape modes. These things work great and haul ass.
Also have 2 good E10k remote power control units with cables, 540-3440.
Anyone building an E10k starting with pieces or should I keep them for
doorstops? :)
Oh, almost forgot. I need an Ultra E450 NVRAM chip, I think it's a 48T19
like the other Ultras. Anyone have an extra from a dead U5?
