>BTW the Sparc-20's were going for $400 complete. I have them in the lab
>(at work) so I had no interest in them.
Thanks to the Sunblade 100 the prices of the Sparc 5's, 10's and 20's, as
well as the Ultra 1's finally seem to be coming down to a slightly more
reasonable price. I'm even seeing nice dual processor Ultra 2's for under
$2000. If the Sparc 20's were going for $400, then they'd better have
either good processors or a monitor included.
Of course extra pieces might cost a pretty penny, though I did just pick up
some dirt cheap 32MB DIMM's that should work in my Sparc 20 on eBay. What
I'd really like to find is a 8MB VSIMM for it, and that costs more than I
want to spend. The 100Mbit S-Bus boards will also cost you. Then there is
the price of a mounting bracket for HD's, I ended up using a piece of thick
cardboard yesterday for a Sparc 5 I'm playing with!
