He said SPARCBook 1.  The SB1 only ran a very highly custom version of
SunOS 4.x, and Solaris was never available for it.  

At one time I owned the very first SB1 that was sold to the general public 
at large.  It didn't resemble the SB2/SB3 series of systems at *all* other 
than the Tadpole logo.
