I am thinking dinosaur, here... sun3 and sun4 vme crates.

Is there anything one should be aware of in the formatting of drives
from macs to suns?

I was thinking of ram that might work in a 3/60 or 3/80 or that kind
of dinosaur (maybe a 4/110?).  If it has 9 chips, it might, has been
my assumption.

I will check and see.  They surplus each friday, about a block away,
so I try to run over there.   Everyone is hot for the PC's and the
unix boxes go for 5 bucks each, and cdroms for 2-3 bucks, and macs for
5-10 bucks.   It is mostly junkque, but lots of good parts if you can
get several cases and cobble them together.  Sadly, no sun stuff tho.
