The answers I recieved were divided. Some said it would not work, but
some reliable sources said that it would work or that it had worked for
them. Information relayed from the Sun sales rep indicates that Sun
sold the same GX board for use with SS1's and SS1+'s. The "GX plus"
board is a different product altogether, not merely a GX for the SS1+,
but a recently announced upgraded version of the GX, offering higher
resolution and hardware double buffering.
When we do our planned massive upgrades this weekend I'll try it and see.
Thanks to all.
