" I've got a couple Aries Research Marix SS tower boxes that I'm getting
" real close to scrapping out for lack of any reason to keep them.  These
" are Sparc servers basically.  One's got 512MB RAM.  The other has some
" unknown amount across 16 30-pin SIMMs (perhaps 4MB to 16MB each?)

" I'm hoping there's someone that would want the parts out of
" these...perhaps the memory or drives or CPU.  Or maybe you're interested
" in the entire box.  Who knows.  I'd just hate to scrap them before I
" offered the stuff up to the list.

neither of the motherboards look like sun kit to me.  in the mid '90s
there were several clone vendors and aries was one.  in addition,
there were upgrade boards for ss2 and ss5 which would take a single
mbus cpu.  the pictured boards make me think of that.

they obviously take sun4m cpus, and if they work will run solaris...
