[SunRescue] WTB: Sparc LX? Canada?

[Ken Hansen]

Just a note - not all IPX RAM will work in an LX, and the speed difference
between an IPX and an LX will be, um, slight. A useful upgrade would be to
an SS/5 110 Mhz system - that would *feel* more than twice as fast, and not
be too dear.

Another alternative would be to keep your eyes open for one of the CYCLE
upgraded SS/2s or lunchbox systems that have SS/5 CPUs but still use 30 or
72 pin RAM.

Another choice would be an AXIL 220 or 245 - these are SS/5 class systems
(70 or 85 MHZ CPUs) that take 72 pin RAM.

HTH,

Ken
