>I picked up a SS10 yesterday. It was missing it's power supply but had a 24bit framebuffer a 10/100 S-Bus nic, MBus processor module, some ram and a hard drive. Seemed like a restorable pizza box and since I don't have a 10 I bought it. I got it home and the Sun p/n guide tells me that a SS10 uses the same power supply as a SS5. I have a couple of spares for my 5's so I got one out. There is no way it's going to fit in the chassis. The SS10 chassis has a beveled cast ridge where the power supply should slide into. Is this a real SS10 or was the label switched? Was there two different versions of the 10 chassis or power supply?
I suspect that what it should have said is the SS20 has the same powersupply, but I'm honestly not 100% sure on that as I've not made sure.
>I'd like to trace it all out and get it working but for a $10 investment, I can salvage out the parts and still feel that I got a good deal.
$10 for the 24-bit framebuffer and 10/100 NIC sounds like a great deal to me!
