To get the nvram try MiniComputer Exchange @ (408) 733-4400. Ask for Steve
Zeller. Or www.mce.com.

This is wrong. Just because you cannot order one from Sun does not mean they
are no longer available. If you had bothered to find the NVRAM FAQ for Sun
machines you would see there are 2 electronics suppliers that stock
replacements.

www.mouser.com

www.digikey.com

I suggest that you know what you are talking about before giving totally
bogus
info. I also suggest that you consult the NVRAM FAQ as well. Remember google
and FAQ's are your friend.
