Joachim,

Do you feel that the quality control of the manufacturing of the Opus-2
computer components is high ? Is it comparable to a Sparcstation 2 ??

  Doug,
  
  after looking into the OPUS-Box, it seems to me, taht the Motherboard
  IS the SparcStation-2 board. My machine has been installed in December
  1991 -- no failures, no problems until now. It runs the
  original SUNOS 4.1.1B. I have added third party SIMMS (70ns) and
  a Fujitsu 2263SA (420MB) SCSI disk. There was a Hewlett-Packard
  420MB disk already installed in the box. It seems to run cool with
  both disks inside the CPU-box, which is nearly twice as high
  as SUN's.
