I've been able to boot off of cdrom, ymmv, of course.  They came with
either a 60M SCSI tpe or a 150M.

Last revs for Sun4 arch is 4.1.4 or 2.4.  2.4+patches runs OK.

It could have a DB-9 (ECL, mono) monitor connection, a 13W3 (color) or
4xBNC (again, color).  The color options were generally 1152x900 at the
66Hz range.
