Hi All

sending this to multiple groups so please reply to me off listses

I have for some years had 3 different sun boxes sitting languishing in
my shed. It's time to clear out the shed.

all are Sun Sparc II based.

1 SPARCstation IPX
1 Scorpion (basically a sun sparc II inside a PC looking box)
1 mainframe server - dual power supply etc. - also a sparc II MB inside.

I also have  2 external enclosures, one with a HDD and one a caddy
CDROM reader and 3 caddies.
I have 4 additional HDD around 500MB to 1GB or so.
I have bits  for to do netowrks (3 x AUX, 2base-T injection point and
cable and 10base-T adapters)

I have 4 sun compatable monitors. 19-21 inches.

the first two boxes will boot to a post bios screen - basically the
bios chip battery is flat and needs replacing - it's fiddly but doable
and I have done so in the past on a sun sparcII pizzabox.

the main frame I've never gotten to boot or power up.

between the 3 there should be enough bits for 2 working machines.

note these are cirra 1992 vintage.

offering the lot to some (insane) person who might want to restore the
lot to working glory.

to be frank the IPX box is the best of the lot - really loverly
design, small footprint.  would not look out of place against some of
the new mini-ITX cases.

For fun I've included a random cable completely unrelated to the rest...
