We may have some RAM around somewhere; I'll check around. Your choices
for HDD are:
- Find a cheap (used) or expensive (new) SCA drive and buy a sled
from some place like MemoryX. The drives have to be 1" low profile
(1.3" drives won't fit).
- Get an external SCSI drive.
You don't necessarily need a CDROM (or floppy, keyboard, monitor,
or mouse) to use the box. Solaris, Linux, and NetBSD all let you do
netboot installs from a serial console on Sun hardware.
I wish the PC BIOS was even half as cool as OpenBoot.
