I had no idea what a V880 or V880z was, so I went Googling.

After a bit of hunting around, and skimming a dozen pages of a few
PDFs, I found this, with some specs and pictures and details of what
it's for.

This is the largest machine I currently have in my collection! (All
157kg of it!!!)

I received this little monster brand new in box!!! (So I've been lucky
enough to experience the unboxing of such a piece of equipment!)

It has the following spec: 6x UltraSPARC III Cu 1.2GHz, XVR-4000, 48GB
of RAM (It's at max spec)

[cctalk] WTB XVR-4000

[silcreval via cctalk]

Hi everyone,

I recently dug out my V880 and all seems to be working brilliantly. I've always 
liked these machines and it would be nice to upgrade this to the V880z spec, ie 
by adding the mighty
XVR-4000 graphics module.

I know the XVR-4000 is a bit of a mixed bag, but would be fun to play around 
with this and also who can not be impressed with the shear size of the module. 
Must be one of the biggest Sun graphics 'cards'?

Does anyone have one of these boards they would be willing to part with. Happy 
to pay a reasonable amount as I know these are not easy to find.

PM me if you have anything.

Ian.
