Forgive me if >this was done before, but I haven't seen it, yet. One main difference is that the low end Sparcs have no HD and are unexpandable.

Of course, if you are just going to add an NFS connection onto your machine and don't need any disk drive locally, the priorities change a bit. >Thanks, >Scot >sjk@emx.utexas.edu > >Yow, am I President yet?! - Zippy -- Ethan Q: What's the definition of a Quayle?
