Is the monitor 19" or 15"?  If it's 15", then it's gotta be a 4405 or 4315.
Off hand, I can't remember how to tell'em apart, but a good first-shot is to
"double click" the reset button on the back, to get into diagnostics.

The 4319 tape doesn't have 4315 binaries I believe...  The 4316/7 was on one set
of tapes, the 4319 on another, and the 4315 on yet another.  The 4315 is VERY
different from the 4316/7.  It has the weird panning screen, and 4kb memory
pages.  (instead of 8k, which all other 43xx's have)

From a rusty memory, here's the 43xx product line:

4301  - 68020/25mhz based display-less workstation.
4315  - 68020/16mhz based integrated mono display (15") workstation
4315+ - 68020/16mhz based integrated mono display (15") workstation
        (Upgraded from 4405, basically the same as a 4315.)
4316  - 68020/16mhz based integrated greyscale display (19") workstation
4317  - 68020/16mhz based integrated color display (19") workstation
4319  - 68020/25mhz based integrated color display (15") workstation
        (The 4319's compute engine is more like a 4301)
432x  - 68020/25mhz based workstation with 2D graphics (4301 + 2D graphics)
433x  - 68020/25mhz based workstation with 3D graphics (4301 + 3D graphics)

There were quite a few more than this...  I personally upgraded 10 or so
myself.  Tek labs in Bld50 had a lot of them that were upgraded as well.

UTek 4.x has Sun3 emulation, but only for SunOS version 3.x.  It won't run
SunOS 4.x binaries, sigh.  The 4301 series has a 25mhz clock, -vs-
the Sun 3/60's 20mhz clock.
