Correction: There is an SLC and an ELC as well. The ELC has had its motherboard ripped out, but the monitor appears to operate; the SLC works fine, if one discounts the fact it isn't connected to the network it wants to be, and its motherboard's battery is probably flat. So I have decided - as the one with the authority in this case - to throw them both in together for sale as a single unit, one for spares of course. Which leaves us with three monitors, one of which has no cable and one of which has a very short one that has female rather than male connectors, so requires a bit of extra TLC before it can be used. But the motherboards are operative and that means that if you like, you have a set of solid servers at a minimum price. And, also, I've been given till the end of next week to sell them all or they are off to Final Death for Mr. Computer. snip There's also the memory reserved from the single Sparcstation I had to demolish because it was dead. I may throw them in for a minimum charge to whoever wants it. Wesley Parish -- Mau e ki, He aha te mea nui? You ask, What is the most important thing? Maku e ki, He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

There are four monitors, I've tested one and it works, I'll test the others tomorrow. There are four keyboards and three mice. Colour? The one I tested definitely has colour. Do they work? I've only tested one monitor so far; I've used it to test all the Sparcstations. Wesley Parish -- Mau e ki, He aha te mea nui? You ask, What is the most important thing?
