[My apologies if this shows up twice on the list, I first sent
it earlier from an email address that apparently wasn't sub'd.
I fixed the problem and am now resending it.]
I seem to be the proud owner of a mostly whole SparcServer 1000,
with fiber attached disk array. They called me Fred Sanford as I
took it, but I think I can accept that. :) Never turn down free
Sun equipment, I say...
I've not booted it up yet, so I'm not sure what it has. There
appear to be two slide-in system boards in the unit, each with
its own SCSI,serial,kbd,ethernet, etc. It looks like there are
slots for two more such boards.
Now, the disk array. And the bad news. They stripped the fiber
interface out of the SS1000 befor they gave it to me. So I've
got no way to hook the two peices together. :( The part number
on the array is 595-3374-02.
Can one pick up a SBUS fiberchannel card on the used market
reasonably cheaply? Worst case I guess I could just strip the
drives out and make use of them individualy, but I'd rather
not do that.
Any advice or pointers in regards to this rescue are
greatly appreciated.
