Nice little machines.

SS240?  Is that the Voyager?

I have a Voyager with the colour display, and the only thing I'd call
odd about it is that it's 1024x768:

cgsix0 at sbus0 slot 3 offset 0x0 level 9: SUNW,501-2393, 1024 x 768, rev 11 (console)
cgsix0: attached to /dev/fb

I've never seen one with the monochrome display; it's supposed to be
1152x900, and I've sometimes wondered whether I'd rather have the
colour or the higher resolution.

Stock NetBSD, even fairly old NetBSD, recognizes the cg6 in mine as an
ordinary cg6.  I've never tried anything but NetBSD on mine, so I can't
say anything useful about Solaris.

Me neither.  Interesting.
