First off, let me thank everyone that responded to my inquiry on mounting
hardware for 3.5" media internal to the SparcStation. Basically, what I
learned was that the mounting hardware (including a 3" SCSI cable and 3"
power connector) cost anywhere from $55 to $85 from many vendors. If you
need names, look in "SunExpert," "Sun Observer," or any of the related
magazines.
If you think that $55 to $85 is a little too much for a small piece of
plastic and two 3" cables, you might be interested in the following notes.

] local Kmart for pennies. It works fine in several of our SS1's, and
] doesn't cost $80 apiece.
