[rescue] Onyx question

I just got my second Onyx yesterday... quad R4400 250's, RE2 graphics (1 RM)
FDDI, extra scsi, 4mm and 8mm tape, CDROM, 2 disks, and a KONA-ready
backplane.  I don't know the size of memory or the disks yet, as it's still
sitting in the back of my Cherokee... seems complete, though.

BTW, got it for $350 from a couple of guys that sell sun stuff they buy
at auction.  I think they knew they might be able to get a little more
from ebay, but that would probably entail shipping and testing the critter.
Too much hassle, and I was local and had money in hand.

The prices on these are still dropping, even though the supply must
be pretty limited.  I would love to get hold of a rack Onyx.
