[SunRescue] come closer and let me pick your brain.

	All,

	Ok I got several requests for information from the wise sages of
this list. I ran into a guy over the weekend who has a LOT of goverment
surplus sparc stuff, luckly he has no idea what sun stuff is or does. Here
is the info I need to move forward in no particular order.

	1. I bought a sparc IPX off of the guy for $10. It has no HD and no
RAM in it. What kind of ram does this item take and can I put any 50 pin
SCSI HD into it or is their a size type restriction? What are the plastic A
dial and B dial for? Are they just covers over something else? Heck I just
looked at it again , where does the keyboard go? HELP!

	2. He had a pile (approxamatly 4 feet high) of Sparc station 1 , 1 +
, 2 , and one 5 . Are these worth picking up and how much , unknown if they
work at this time.

	3. I got a case of unknown sparc type. It has the strangest SCSI
connector on the back. Labeled as a sparc 511 case. What is/was this for?
Has a scsi 50 pin cable inside. Beyond that I am at a loss and figure stuff
is missing out of it, but for $1 how wrong could I go?

	4. This is the bigge I am curious about. He had 3 or 4 Sun Mass
Storage cases in the Shop. 3' by 3' by 3' cubes. Obviously sun gear but I
was unfamiliar with them, what are they? Should I make an offer on one ,
what should be in them? If this some sort of drive array system?

	Any info you guys can dregde up for me would be appreciated.
