So > does anyone know where I can acquire one? www.gstek.com. Very reputable, great to work with. Poke around the web, but call when you want the straight scoop. If you're looking for any old SPARC, they have IPXs no memory, no hd for $35. With some RAM, a 1-Gig HD, and an AUI to 10Base-T converter you'll be into it maybe $150 if you just want to use a serial console. Contact me if you need the pinouts for a DB9 to IPX cable. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Does the IPX have the same pinouts as the IPC? Because, I've found that a DB25-din8 serial cable, which can often be found wherever Mac hardware is sold, works just fine for my IPC. -- cliff crawford http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/cjc26/ There are more stars in the sky than there are -><- grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.
