   If you let me know what you're looking for, I probably have it.

   Yeah, there are a lot of clueless people on the forums with regard to 
machines like this.  Most of them never actually *used* these machines 
"back in the day".  Nobody (nobody!) ran Solaris2 on them back then, 
unless they were nontechnical people being told what to do by even less 
technical management types.

   Oh, if you thought that ran nicely, you should see SunOS4.  It 
absolutely screams on that hardware.
