[rescue] Case question... and anyone got a pair of Sun 128MB U10 dimms...

... to trade for equal amount of U5/U10 memory (4x64 maybe?) 

I'm trying to edge my AXi system up a bit (from 640MB to 768MB), and the
128s I've found so far are all 10-bit column addressing. I need to find
some 11-bit column addressing sticks, and I'm told that Sun only sold
11-bit. So I think a pair of Sun 128s will solve my problem until I can
find another cheap pair of 256s.

Also, I picked up a nifty inexpensive 2U case for this system, but I'm
pondering being stumped by the PCI slot arrangement options. I have two
photos of the case at:

It's an unbadged Fuller Workstations chassis that looks quite suited for
AXi or other systems with the same port layout (pretty unique). I'm
guessing/hoping I can put a pair of 2U risers in there, although I just
realized all of my risers face the same direction so that might take some
more digging. Anybody know offhand how that slot layout works?

By the way, for you SF Bay area folks, Halted Specialties in Santa Clara
had the badged version of this case (or something remarkably close) for
$135 a week or so ago.
