SunGurus,

I had sent in a query late yesterday, for a 3 year old Sparc 1 system.
There was no hardware documentation handy, and I really needed the map urgently
to install the memory correctly, since this was a production system.

Boy, as always, the nice folks in this group responded to my request for
help. Since I needed to fix the problem last night before going
home. I called "Sun Valley Repair" from the Sun Observer Magazine. The
folks over there sent me map and some free advice on the diag test.
That did the job!

However, the following good folks responded to my mail for help also.
Thanks a lot

Question
BTW, is there any ftp/www site which carries the Sun hardware info. online??
