No, not yet.

Some people seem to completly ignore the fact that the Classic (and LX/ZX)
do *NOT* have a standard AUI Connector (DSub-15).

The Classic does have a 26 pin Mini-DSub connector that look similar to the
usual SCSI-2 connectors. (On the LX-Type machines this connector is also
used to connect the external speakerbox to the SPARCstation).

Oh really? Try to connect them to thos old Apple MACs (with AAUI) or
SPARCstation Classic [X] or LX...

BTW: You'll find the Pinout in the SPARCclassic/SPARCclassix X/SPARCstation LX
