sections of the installation manual.

Sun 120/170 Installation manual says that if no video card is found
the monitor sends output to serial port A,  9600 baud, no parity,
one stop bit.

Top one is serial, the second is not used in Sun-2 Workstations;
is is a Sun-1-compatible parallel input port (says the installation manual)

For SCSI you need a separate board (+ you get four more serial lines)
