Thanks to all who responded. Some people didn't know, but a good
half-dozen mentioned a product called the "Sun Interface Converter". Some
gave part numbers, some of those were incorrect.

According to sunstore.sun.com, product X465A is the beasty, retailing for
US$75.

More details can be found at:
http://sunstore.sun.com/

Follow links for catalog->hardware->system accessories (near the
bottom)->Sun Interface Converter.

I've already sent my purchase req in.

Take care,
-Adam
