[rescue] need (physical) key for Sun SPARCserver 1000e

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Jerry

I should have a spare key, if someone can post a photo of the correct one as I
have a box of keys for Sun and no 1000 left here to try it in.

Also Jerry can you get in touch re the AXi system you have, I am interested in
it if it is surplus to your needs?

Thanks

Peter
