[rescue] Looking for: SunOS 4.0.3e - SPARCEngine

[Jon]

Hello again,

I was asked for a picture of the tape, but my mail bounced so I'm posting
here instead.
My scanner is packed away so I just snapped a photo of the tape instead.
Can be found at https://www.ludd.ltu.se/~jlo/SPARCengine/SPARCengine1.jpg

Cheers,
Jon
