SUN4 scheme

I'm a prospective learner of SCHEME, having been inspired by the
Abelson, Sussman & Sussman book, _Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs_, but I'm pretty ignorant of programming (Pascal,
C at a modest level for a literature student), new to UNIX and to
LISP, and in possession of a glittering SUN SPARCstation 1 I'm just
beginning to understand.
With all these disabilities, I suppose I shouldn't bother with LISP,
but if possible I'd like to get SCHEME working on my SUN4.  I ftp's
the code and have read the README and INSTALL files, and am about
to compile and run the Wsize program to begin altering the config.h
file.
It occurs to me that if any place in North America has SUN4s running
lisp, MIT is that place.  Is there an implementation of SCHEME Lisp
for the SUN4 that I've missed?  I notice a reference here and there
to the machine, but I'm uncertain.
Sorry to be so dull.  Any help you can spare will be welcome.
