I can try and find manuals. That will give me something to do tomorrow =)

:#2 I hooked up a terminal (DEC VT220) to SIO-A. All I get is a lot of
:gibberish. I've tried all possible settings. How can I get it to work?

9600-8-n-1 300-7-e-1 are the two guesses. Make sure all forms of flow control
and error correction are turned OFF.

:#3 If I manage to get the console working, how do I proceed in
:installing an Operating System?

You'll need a really old version of SunOS, like 4.0.3.

:And finally
:
:#4 What kind of system is this excactly?

Part numbers. We need part numbers. Part numbers of the Chassis and of
the CPU/memory card for starters.
