Just because I want to install an unix-like OS on this Classic and
the internal hard drive is blank. This machine is a stand alone (no
network here) so I thought the best way to format the hard disk and
try to install something in it was to use a floppy drive. Am'I wrong ?
Sorry but where I live it's not so easy to find any sun-related
things such the ones you described...
Well another question : can I install an old SCSI cdrom on it ? What
is the configuration needed in open boot ?

Yes ! But I feel puzzled with all the little holes on the sides ! I
don't know what to use... chewing-gum may be ? ;-)
