[rescue] Looking for: SunOS 4.0.3e - SPARCEngine

[Jon]

Hello,

I'm happy if shipping can be covered, and I'm very happy if the tape will
find some use as I don't have any SPARCengine machine myself (my primary
interest is Sun's Motorola machines but I'm very, very inactive at the
moment..)

I will have a second look around to see if I might have another tape
because I do seem to recall there were multiple SPARCengine tapes in a
batch I received several years ago, but so far I could only find this one.
I'm also extremely busy at the moment so it will probably be a few days
before I can do a more thorough search, .

Beware that at least shipping from Australia to Sweden seems to be quite
slow at this time.
I waited for around one month for a package back in march; that was at
least partly due to the very bad weather/flooding in NSW, but I'm waiting
on a second package right now that is also closing in on 1 month in transit.

Cheers,
Jon
