Well cool you are most of the way there. I dunno about monitor resolution.
I'll have to dig the owner's manual out and see. I bought a JS new in the

Yes for the JS, however it is the Java software that is supposed to run on
the box. They do not run Solaris. I also have not heard anybody having got

had found in my search to make this work.
