Hi everyone,

I have a SunVME 3-slot deskside tower case available for sale. I haven't
used it for about a year, so there's no point keeping it any longer since it
takes us valuable floor space.

The case will accept most of the older style SunVME CPU boards, etc. to make
a very small, compact (by the standards applying at the time those cases
housed state-of-the-art machines) system unit. 

 [ One good use for it is with a 4/6xx sun-4m series CPU board to make an
   interesting machine using cheap CPU modules and RAM (the 4/6xx's take 4
   meg, 30 pin parity SIMM's). 4/6xx boards will run everything up to
   Solaris 2.5.1, and support CPU modules up to SM-61's.  They also have 4
   Sbus slots so with one board they make a complete machine. ]

Anyway, I'd like to receive $145 for the 3-slot SunVME deskside tower case.

Currently installed in it is a 4/3xx CPU board (which takes eight x 1 or 4
meg, 30 pin parity SIMM's), and a cg9 24-bit colour framebuffer. Both of
these boards are in full working order.

I will sell the 4/3xx CPU board for $60, and the cg9 24-bit colour
framebuffer for $135.

If you would like to buy the 3-slot tower case *and* the 4/3xx CPU board
*and* the cg9 24-bit framebuffer together, I'll sell the whole lot for a
flat $300.

Please reply via email, or phone me on 02-9520-2550 (home phone, *not* the
SRK phone), to arrange a look see. I'm living at Waterfall, and the gear
will have to be picked up since it's too heavy to ship (especially the
3-slot tower case!). The sooner it's moved from here the better since I'm
just going to throw it out otherwise, and I'd prefer it to go to a good
home.

Regards,

Craig.
