That would be great if you could pull it off. I've given up on trying to
get SunOS 4.x, and my next attempt is to restore a sun 3/60 and
try to install SunOS 3.x which can then hopefully be used as a
boot server for the 1/100U. But i'd much rather run an earlier
version of SunOS as possible, mainly due to the memory constraints.
