SUN STATUS....

i emailed the seller to get more info on the items, found out some interesting
stuff

the Sun has a CPU board and IPI Disk controller only... it worked a few years
back, but when started it this time it wouldn't boot, he had no time to
investigate.

It weghts 500 lbs.

the monitor is 19"-20" color hires color

what i thought was a nice "LITTLE HP box" that i was going to turn into a scsi
disk box, weights 750lbs.

so i emailed him and told him i would not be picking up the auction, because
there would be no way to move it from my ford explorer to my basement and the
wear and tear of hailing "1200 lbs. was just too great." I offered to give
people on this list the information about the machine and his where abouts
so someone more local could contact him. I haven't heard back from him. He
seems pretty cool, I have paid for the auction so I don't think i have to
worry about ebay's non paying bidding rules. I really would of liked the
monitor but a 500 mile road trip for a 20" monitor is not really worth it.
