|The Sparcstation SLC's are kind of slick. The problem is the memory for
|them costs more than the SLC. They're 72 pin 33 bit wide... You can
|use parity 76pin. The problem is most of them have 16mb in 'em and you
|need at least 32-48 mb (I recommend 64) to run Solaris or SunOS.

0) So don't run the windowing system.
1) What about Linux? Has it been ported to the SLC yet?
2) There was some software to turn old Suns into X terminals.
   Was it ported to the SLCs? While 16MB isn't a lot for an X
   terminal, it will work in some situations.
