This is a standard CD Caddy like Sony P/N RM40-033. Not sure who might carry them in OZ, but you might try Trojan Computers in Abbotsford if you can't get them locally.. Here in Canada I get them from Trimex Marketing in the Vancouver area under their Perfect Micro brand. They retail for about $9 - 10 CDN. Hope this helps, Bill Edwards Ebay has Sun CD-ROM drives all the time.

If you've got access to a network (at work? at home?), it's easier to net-boot the machine (with tftp) rather than hassling with CDs. There's information about it on the debian site (on the Sparc port page) if I remember correctly. Hell, my Sparcstation LX doesn't even _have_ a CDROM drive. bye -- 8<8<8<8<8<8<8< Ian Tester *8)# \7\LINUX: because geeks will find a way [EMAIL PROTECTED] \7\ http://www.zipworld.com.au/~imroy
Sun Hardware Replacement
Hi, I was given a Sun Sparc 2 that our office had lying around. I got all prepared to install Debian Linux and have found that the CDRom is missing the drive caddy, hence I can't use it. It is external and the details are as follows, Model : 411 PN : 595-1929-05 SN : 141G1984 My question is thus, Does anybody know where I can buy a CD caddy for this ??? Sun are absolutely no help and I've accidentally found in previous years web sites of companies that deal in old Sun but can't find any of them now. Please, I'm desperate.
