Sun VME workstation (though it's not the typical VME, just a one board system), 24 SIMM sockets,
expandable to a P4 framebuffer (I believe the equivalent to a CG6), on-board SCSI, AUI, serial, the usual.

Great machine, someone on the list gave me theirs - I have mine netbooting NetBSD, with 24MB of RAM.

Oh yeah, and speed - 68020 @ 20MHz.  Boots really quick, too, for an older machine.

Personally, I think it's a pretty good machine, so yeah, why not?  What have you go to lose?

This will be your new mission, should you accept it... =)
