Re: Video Card Question

Hans,

Thanks for your info on this -

Are you sure this will work on an SS10?  My understanding is that the SS20
had the on-board video, which could be upgraded, but that the SS10 does not.
I'd have to take the machine apart to look around in there...

I do see such a product for SS20:  Sun Sparc 20 8MB VSIMM for Onboard SX
graphics (501-2482)
