Well, I am in good old germany and the prices here are a bit
different...
But I will try to get at least a bunch of 16 MB DIMMs.

Hmm. Can't find anything on sunsolve about the SparcEngine...

How can I determine if the MBUS is running at 40 MHz od 50 MHz? But with
that 40 MHz oscillator near the MBUS controller it looks more like a
SS10.

BTW: What is the main difference from SS10 to SS20? Only MBUS and RAM
Speed?

Shippment and payment across the big pond may be prohibitive. :-(
