Well, I guess the next question is...  what would it take to abscond it
from your cloistered gemittenfingerpokins to make my old 4/260 smile?
Is it a bare drive, or in a case....  etc., etc., etc......(:+}}...
All I really need is the bare drive.  But...., we beggar types can't
be too choosie, at this point.

Well, likewise on that too.  Which particular sunos release tape set?
I much prefer booting tapes, over CD's on the old hardware.  It just
works better in my hands.  The existing tapes I have are 4.1, but the
first tape of the pair of mine is nuked in the usr tarball and beyond.
I need either the tarballs of usr and beyond on the first tape of a
4.1 set, or a replacement 4.1 first tape or tape set, or any 4.x usable
tape set, all for a sun4 class cpu.    I need to get the monster purring
again.....(:+}}...  It has been sitting too long, and I would rather
not have to convert it to a 3/xxx class machine, just to get it purring.

Thanks

Bob
