The sun computer model numbers are
3/260 (Server) and 3/60 (Workstation).
(Running a Motorola 68020/68888 CPU/FPU
combination 16MB RAM, - both the same I
believe, but this is not so
important - the model numbers
should define them precisely enough)



Information required:

What is the standard factory-pre-programmed
password for the PROM on them?

Is there a way of wiping the PROM password
without destroying all the data in the PROM
(i.e. taking out the chip and sticking
it out into sunlight)?
This is only for the option if the worst
comes to worst, so don't let this one worry
you too much.

Can the model 3/260 (Server) be made to boot
off a SCSI hard disk?
(there _appears_ to be a SCSI bus (controller
if you like) built into it and running the
tape drive - not sure about this so check
that as well!)

If the answer to the previous question is
positive (i.e. yes (will also accept maybe,
perhaps, etc.)), then: How?

If NOT :( , what can it boot off (type of hard
disk, or should I say _fixed disk_ to be
more flexible - you never know)?

What version of UNIX can I run on it
(Solaris version 1, I believe, but not
sure - check please)?

if you can help email me at samsz@aol.com
