I probably have everything that you need. What part number boards are
you looking for?
I can drop off the boards at the local PAK-Mail, you can call them
with a credit card number to pay for the pack and ship.

I found it easier to use a Sun-3 to format and partition the Sun-2
disk and then write the installation files to the swap space. The
Sun-2 can then boot directly from the disk. I used the 60MB cartridge
drive on my 3/470 to install the rest of the Sun-2 SunOS over the
network.
