I will soon be upgrading my existing Sun3/180 and 280
to SPARCservers. The 180 will be upgraded to a 4/330
and the 280 to a 4/490. 

I am not replacing the machines but swapping the boards
in the existing rack(s).

Has anybody had the pleasure of doing this? Is there software
that will re-compile my programs for me? Any helpful hints
will be greatly appreciated?                   

I have taken pains to make sure the 1/2" tape will still work
(had to buy an upgrade kit for it also) along with the
second ehternet controller, etc.

Much appreciated,

-Don
