Probably a large pedestal or short rack. Does have VME, but
is sun4 architecture (not sun4c or sun4d or sun4m, etc.) Solaris
doesn't like them anymore (2.5.1 the latest? I think there's a
check for VME-equipped Suns in 2.6 that halts when found, but there
is a patch around that).

I agree with another poster - SunOS 4.1.3u1 (Solaris 1.1.1) would
make it shine.

Sweet box for older hardware.
