(At one point it was the main server for the CS department, had a lot of external disk.) Note that having SBUS is *huge*. You can't get that in servers without spending *way* more money, and I don't *think* other Ultra workstation models had it (certainly not the current Ultra 5 and 10 lines... Noah, do you recall if the Ultra 60 has SBUS?). Even E450s only have PCI; you have to go up to an E3500 (or, these days, a V880) if you want SBUS. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
