	Doug,
	
	after looking into the OPUS-Box, it seems to me, taht the Motherboard
	IS the SparcStation-2 board. My machine has been installed in December
	1991 -- no failures, no problems until now. It runs the
	original SUNOS 4.1.1B. I have added third party SIMMS (70ns) and
	a Fujitsu 2263SA (420MB) SCSI disk. There was a Hewlett-Packard
	420MB disk already installed in the box. It seems to run cool with
	both disks inside the CPU-box, which is nearly twice as high
	as SUN's.
