Why not a Sun of some sort?  Given prices and hardware availability, it
seems saner.

My system that I'm working on will eventually be a Sun Ultra1 with 2
FW-Diff cards, 2 RA310s stuffed with disks, and a FDDI card.

At the moment, I've been snagged by accidently aquiring the RA310s
without SBB cans.  And I've lost track of why there has been no sign of
the two Ultra1s I expect to arrive.  I have a lesser machine to stand in
place of the U1s for the time being, but I still haven't been able to
work out the SBB cans.

On a side note, has anyone heart from Kurt M. about that lot of Suns?  I
haven't gotten any messages in a long time.
