Thanks for the info Dan. One of the list members made me a VERY good
offer on a sun drive in a 411 box so I'm going after that. :) I still
need to pick up a 10BaseT SBUS board as well as a cheap framebuffer and a
Sun -> PC display & mouse/keyboard adaptor so I can use my existing KVM.

After I've got the SS1 set up the way I need it (firewall), I think I'm
going to get a SS10 machine I can load up with RAM & CPU and use that for
other misc. amusements.


Tnx!
