Well, I didn't just buy it for that, I got it when that's about what they
were worth. The only reason I payed as much as I did was because of the
SCSI S-Bus card in it.

I *really* want a SS20 w/dual SM71's or SM81's, and something like 192MB
RAM, but then I look at what I can get in an x86 box for that price and just
shake my head. I might like Sparcs, but x86 is the only platform Solaris
makes sense on!

Of course my dream Sparc would be a Dual Ultra 2 :^)
