- I don't think anyone is making stand-alone boards for sale. However,
- Sun will sell you just the board for an LX or SPARCclassic if you can
- get a hold of their "repairs parts" manual. That's the manual that
- lets you order a particular chip, board, screw, wire,
- little-metal-flexy-thing, etc. Ask your saleshorror for a copy.
-
- I doubt TI will be shipping a board, they're in the chip biz from what
- I understand. Mentor did parts of the design, but isn't in the
- business of making chips or board.
-
- If you are looking to upgrade an old SPARC 2 or other Sun machine,
- check out Sun's new press release about their upgrade policy. They
- will take trade-ins on many different machines and you save money by
- re-using your monitor, harddrives, etc.
