[SunRescue] I'm the proverbial Bull in a China Sparc Station

Hello,


I was recently destroying, I mean transferring some internals of one Sparc 2
to another.  I was lulled into thinking I knew what I was doing till I
pulled out a RAM expansion card.  Not a SIMM, a RAM expansion card.  Sort of
like the old memory expansion cards you used to be able to place into a PC
to get higher memory above 640k.  Not really paying attention to what I was
doing I removed the card and heard a noise that shouldn't have been there.
This Ram expansion card had a cellophane-like ribbon cable attached that
connected the side of the card to an 8-pin connector on the motherboard next
to the power supply.  The ribbon has a number on it, 530-1814-02.  In finer
print is another number 270-182902 REV 01.  Does anyone have any idea where
I might find a new cable?  Or even what I should call it when I ask someone?


Thanks,


Marty
