FA - Very Cheap (suspected dead) X1195A CPU for Sun U60, U80, E220R, 420R

[Dr. David Kirkby]

I have a 450 MHz Sun X1195A CPU, p/n 501-5539 which I suspect is dead.
If anyone fancies their chances at getting it working (the fault might
be one of the components on the PCB that's possible to replace), read
on.

I've auctioned it on eBay starting at $30. Sorry, but don't bother
making an offer <$30, as I can't be bothered to ship it - I'd rather
just put it in the bin.

I would add, this is not 'untested', but I'm pretty sure it is dead,
as it was working in a quad processor U80, and then the machine
stopped working. Various attempts at swapping the processors always
indicates a problem with this CPU, no matter what slot it is placed
in.

Anyway, for the ambitious, see:

PS, If anyone in the UK has a *working* X1195A CPU at a sensible
price, let me know.

Thanks John, but I've been offered one for £125 including shipping
from someone in the UK. Hopefully I should be back on 4 CPUs by the
middle of next week.
