I already have multiple SPARC 20 units with multiple CPU's in them and
also a whole pile of memory for those old battle axe units. Disks.
Plenty of old SCSI disks. So if someone is going to collect your S20's
then they can email me and I'll ship the memory out. Nothing says old
school UNIX like a SPARCstation 20 with 256 MB of memory in it. Good
luck with Linux. Last thing I saw working ( at all ) was RED HAT Zoot.
