I have an SS5 and the plastic bracket that holds the SCSI backplane in place, shattered. The thing is so brittle. I tried to epoxy it back together but that failed miserably.
I do 3-D modeling with Creo and I'll model it and have a new one printed somewhere. I'll have to pop open my SS20 to see if it's the same bracket. -Kurt On Wed, Jul 17, 2024 at 1:44 PM CAREY SCHUG via cctalk < [email protected]> wrote: > it was kind of a general question, but I have a sparcstation 5 or two that > it would be nice to put a second disk into.
