BBBS sure does exist for various flavors of *nixes. Currently there a KS| least versions for Linux, Solaris and Unixware -- probably some others too KS| I cannot recall them right now. Too bad the *nix-versions are (for now) on KS| for registered users (wide beta). KS| An evaluation version of the *nix-versions will probably also come as im KS| (the author) releases a "new" public version. I tried routed-netmail and internet e-mail to Kim H. with no success. I would like to become a registered-user if it's possible - then I could examine bbbs for linux in greater detail as time permits. If I sent you routed-netmail with my postal address would you be able to forward that to Kim for me?

They can use just about any type of external scsi 1 or scsi 2 disk drives. With the proper sbus adapter cards, you can use the newer fast-wide scsi disk drives as external disk drives. The Sparc 4/5 and 20, use scsi 2 internal disks with special adapters, and all the same applies for their external disks. I've used just about any scsi disk drive you can name as external drives on Sparc 1, 1+, 2, and 10s. You might try Sun's internet site for more info.
