On a side note i did buy 2 SUN Ross Twin 125 Mhz 1024k for mine and what i
was told was the FW chips for them.
But could never get them to work, im guessing as i was sent 4 "FW" chips
labeled "1/4" "2/4" "3/4" "4/4" that they were not what i was told!
I still have the CPU's and the SS20 but have no idea what FW/ Bios chips i
need or where to get them from.
