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
