[rescue] Looking for Prestoserve 2.3 for SunOS 4.x sun4c

[Dave McGuire]

  Well shit, I'm sorry about that.  I wasn't aware that this
distribution was sun4 only. :-(  That sucks for me as well, because I
have a couple of Sbus Prestoserve cards around here somewhere.

  If you do manage to find the sun4c distribution, please share?

          Thanks,
          -Dave
