Man, I feel old now. I remember when all of this stuff came out and I 
still have it mentally marked as "moderately recent". When I hear "old 
Sun hardware" I think of VME Sparcs at the latest, and even that is iffy 
because it's Sparc. "Old Sun hardware" is more properly Sun-3 stuff, and 
then there's "OLD Sun hardware", which would be the Sun-2 line, which 
was already obsolete and gone when I first met Sun hardware in the late 
Eighties.
