We at the University of North Carolina have magic running on our sun
3/110c's.  We are currently running a pilot version of release 3.2 of
the sun operating system (bsd 4.2 based).   Without modification, the
code we were using for our 3/160c ran as though the 3/110c was a color
machine.

We recompiled magic on a 3/110.  We used standard sun 3 source (1986 as
it comes off the tape + Bob Mayo's fixes for sun3 + latest version of
scmos tech file).  We have done two versions one without and one with
the extract bug fix recently redistributed, no problems associated with
that.  

There is one minor additional problem.  The version of the operating
system thinks that a 3/110c is a black and white sun (as identified by
the ioctl calls).  This is an additional problem to recompiling on a sun
3/110.  To solve this problem, specify the device as a sun160 when
invoking magic.  ( magic -d SUN160 ...).  Hopefully this problem will be
fixed in the standard release 3.2 which our systems people just got and
are installing now.

By the way, the binaries for the 3/110c work fine on the 3/160c.
