Thanks to all who sent me mail about sun 2 power supply repair, sun 2
parts in general, and upgrades of sun 2 to 4.x. I've listed the 3 places
that people mentioned for sun 2 service and parts below. I received a lot
of mail about sun 2 upgrades to 4.x, but just about no one recommended it.
we have purchased a cannibalized power supply from an outfit in the CS
department here on the U.C. Berkeley campus. actually, i guess it's
technically from U.C.B. salvage. when we replaced the p.s., the sun 2
came back up as normal.
about *tip* problems: no one seemed to know for sure why this happened.
maybe there is a bug in one of the boards. our hardware guys here think
it might be a pickup problem.
some people suggested using the sun 2 simple as an X-term.
anyway, so long and thanks for the fish.
