[SPARCbook] Me and my sparcbook ...

[Ken Hansen]

Well, if you ran solaris it would be trivial, but there should be a key
combination to switch display from internal to external to both - check out
the manual pointed to by by Hugo's FAQ. The Tech Ref may tell you how to
craft a short program to shut off the display by s etting registers in
memory.

Also, Solaris with the proper patches runs cool enough for prolonged
powered-on use (weeks in my case, crunching SETI at Home packets)...

HTH,

Ken
