[SunHELP] SparcStation 5

[Chris Barnes]

Awesome, I've got NetBSD here so I'll give that a bash. I've also got
Mandrake which will run on it so I'll bash that too.

Sounds like I might have to invest in some more memory and a cd-rom for it.

Can anyone confirm if a standard floppy drive (out of your regular home pc)
will work in the Sparc 5? I had a look at the system board and cabling and
it looks very similar if not the same as a standard floppy for a generic
home pc.
