[rescue] Multipack Power Supply pin-out?

[Lionel Peterson]

I wish someone would develop a backplane board with SATA port multipliers
installed to allow use of 10x SATA drives. I thought about trying to stuff a
couple port multipliers and SATA cables in the chassis,  but my 'round toit'
never arrived...

Here is a link to a port multiplier the type I was going to use:

I have a few of these Sun chassis available, if anyone is interested - just
looking for postage.
