No onboard audio.  Usually.  Most of the time.  The later rev 4/600 boards
(501-2055) have 10MB/sec fast SCSI-2, others are 5MB/sec max.

512MB on the motherboard (32 16MB SIMMs).  2 memory boards will take 1GB
each with 64 16MB SIMMs though 3 might be possible with board
modifications.

Dual Ross HyperSparcs will also work with the right boot PROMs.  One of
the DNS root nameservers is still a 4/670 with quad Ross 180's.
