Hi Folks,
Numerous responses pointed me at Sun Express and one of the first had
with the actual part number which I ordered just about immediately.
The were pointers to other places to order the part both a little
cheaper and more exspensive. I'll list those below. The actual Sun
part # was...
#540-2767 Ultra disk drive bracket kit $25
It just came in and it does the trick. I received a warning about not
using internal drives due to heat disapation but external is not an
option at this point.
Thanks to all who read and took the time to respond.
