[SunRescue] What older sun can use these parts?

[David Rouse]

The ANS has a 604 150 MHz, but I'm not concerned with absolute power -- 
I'll probably use it to get back teaching myself Perl and Apache/Solaris 
configuration options. And I'm comfortable with my Wyse 60, so I don't 
need to have to drag X around with me.

As far as money goes, definitely under $1000 (I've got wisdom teeth that 
need getting out). The SS5 option with an added SCSI card is starting to 
look good, but if I could expect to get a SS20 with a 'starter' 
processor, no video card, 64MB of RAM, a 1GB HD and a F-W SCSI-2 card 
for under $1000 ... is that unrealistic?
