I have found an old SPARCprinter (circa 1991) c/w cable, manuals &
possibly sbus card.

Does anybody know where I can get a copy of newsprint software to run on
solaris 2?
Is this software freely available?
Are there any alternatives to newsprint?

Can I get the drivers for the sbus card anywhere?
and at least get the parallel port going?

Any suggestions for getting it going on a sparc2/solaris 2.5?
Is it worth getting going?
