***Yes, this is off topic, but I know some of you can help a little,
off-list that is...

        Well, I am the proud new owner of a Sun Ultra1 Creator machine ( p/n
600-4385-01). It came with 128 MB of RAM (2 pieces - 501-2480-78431410 and
501-2480-78431417), and a Creator video card. The video card has the 13W3
connector, and looks like a 1/8" jack.
        No drives included. But then again, what do you expect for $50?

        Couple quick questions, and yes, I do know about SunSolve online...
- The info I found on the Creator card, (501-4127-061144) says the 1/8" jack
is stereo. Okay, stereo what? Sound in or out?
- I have the Sun/Hitachi 19 inch tube. It's safe to assume that the Creator
can handle the weight, and the Hitachi can handle the video output, right?
- Apparently, the Creator3D is listed as not supported in NetBSD, and the
SBus cgsix is. I assume the Creator I have is lumped with the 3D. I guess
I'll yank the video from my 1+ for now. Anybody working on the Creator
support?

        This is my To-Do/To-Get list. Hopefully someone will correct me if
I'm wrong, or help out with parts...
- Take floppy drive from SPARCstation 1+
- Install CD-ROM, need to find power wire harness (p/n 530-2176)
- Need to find speaker and LED wire (p/n 530-2175), or at least a pinout...
- Get a fan in the front there by the HDDs... Looks like a wrestling match
to get that out.
- Wait for the HDD spuds to arrive in the mail...
