It's a Motorola 68030 based Sun (68030 _at_ 20MHz, 68882 @ 20 or 40MHz,
68030 on-chip MMU, 3 MIPS, 0.16 MFLOPS). The last version of SunOS it
can run is 4.1.1_U1.

For more information, http://www.pz.pirmasens.de/sun3/ is the place
to go. They have TONS of Sun3 info, including a downloadable copy of
SunOS 4.1.1. Now, it's difficult to do, but I actually have installed
this by fiddling with the NetBSD Sun3x netboot, netbooting into the
SunOS 4.1.1 miniroot, and installing over the network. It works!
And you become an UberGeek just for having done so.
