Well, believe it or not, I have a SPARC machine here that will take a PS/2
mouse, a 101 PS/2 keyboard, and probably some minute selection of ATI
video cards (it has a Raptor GFX now). So the questions aren't always as
silly as they sound, although most Sun users probably don't have OEM
machines.

It happens to be running Solaris when it's plugged in... but that's
neither here nor here.
