It will work .. I've got a 4/330 with SunOS 4.1.<something> on it
here. It's wether or not you feel that SunOS 4 is a Good Plan... 

It gets a bit hairy when you want DNS to work - even after you apply
the gruesome patches you can have problems, apparently.

I have been intending to try out other OS's on this. NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Linux  - they have varying degrees of almost-support for it, AIUI.

I managed an OpenBSD install on one 4/330, but it now whinges on boot and
doesnt get anywhere .. I've yet to find the time to figure out why.
