Well, lessee, mebbie if I get no hernias from the gambit, that will do
fine.

What tidbits are good to know about the 4/330 machine?  Is the
rom recent enough to boot comfortably off the scsi bus via a
sun cdrom?  What was the usual tape on this machine?

I just talked with the fellow, and he will deliver it tomorrow,
for the price of lunch.  He says it has 4 HD's.  The early 12
slot desksides would not handle but 3 HD's internally, if memory
is correct.  Would that indicate this is a later model deskside
case (the grey/blue things vs the early cream/grey metal monsters?)?

Would it run something as late as Solaris 2.4, or is it stuck
with a SunOS 4.1.3 limit?  OpenBSD should work on it, as well
as NetBSD.

He says it does not have a monitor or keyboard, but, if luck is
with me, what usual graphics output would it have?

Thanks

Bob
