Wanted - Weitek PowerUp CPU for SS2 and IPX, or multiples thereof

[Craig Dewick]

Hi I know this is probably a long-shot, but I have a Sparcstation 2 and an
IPX which I use from time to time, and both could benefit from having Weitek
PowerUp's to replace the stock 40 Mhz CPU.

Also, I'm keen to try these for something else. My Solbourne 5/502 Kbus
system (which runs the true multi-tasking derivative of SunOS 4.1.x that
Solbourne called OS/MP) uses the exact same 40 Mhz Sparc processors as SS2's
and IPX's. I don't remember at present if the CPU's are socketed or not, but
if they are socketed on the Solbourne CPU boards, I'd be very keen to try
them on the CPU boards of my Solbourne system and see if they work. I
suspect they will.

Anyway if you have any of these CPU's, let me know. They used to be very
common but are now incredibly rare and almost never come up on Ebay!

Regards,

Craig.

Thanks to people who have responded to this request so far - I've been
contacted by a few people who have some of these CPU's available, and
hopefully I'll receive a couple of them shortly.

Regards,

Craig.
