hello,

I have a few questions about the SPARCclassic:

1) I assume the OS comes preinstalled, but what if I want to reinstall it?
Does a CDROM come with the machine (and boot disks)?

2) can the classic use non-sun CDROM drives? (and boot off of them)?

3) how much space is left on the 207 Mb HD after the OS is installed?

4) does the frame buffer take up an SBus slot? How many *total* slots
are there?

5) can the classic be run multi-headed (multiple monitors)?

6) is the 19" grayscale monitor really grayscale? (or is it monochrome)?
Could the grayscale be a better deal than the 15" color?

7) can the monitor be deleted? can the classic run with non-sun
monitors?

8) which of the available monitors are Trinitrons?

9) what's a good price for classic memory?

10) does the HD have to be reformatted if the machine is turned on its
side?

11) doesn't it look silly with a 19" monitor on top of it? :-)

more questions later,

thank you for your time,

Dwayne Fontenot
