I can use some 50-50 pin (micro scsi) cables, as well as 50-68 pin.  An IPX
or two might be fun for building firewalls or routers 0 I have a bunch of
the 4-port quadether cards...

Ross Hypersparc module for SS10/20 (with proper PROM).  Sun did sell some
Ross CPU modules, and Ross made some of the SPARC chips for various systems.

The second is the main board for an E450 - that version can handle CPU's
w/2M cache.
