Well, consider there is almost NO company here that sells "used"
equipment, and whenever someone pops up, they sell overpriced PeeCee's
and other stuff. I know a place in Stockholm though, which sells
SGI/HP/DEC but no Sun.
So, incase I don't find some guy at Sun who whould spare us some disks,
it's quite impossible.

Geez, that was a complete "Datacenter Mass Storage" rack. :-)
I only saw one of those down in the basement at Suns HQ, but never in
action.

I believe some of those "centers" was equipped as a SS1000 at top with
all the disks down under it.
The SS1000 was "massively" equipped with Diff/SCSI cards. Some sort of
solution...
