Sounds like an IPX, IPC or LX - I'll have to look at mine to see what
model # it has on it. Either way, there should be a tag with the model on
the front (Unless it has fallen off or something). It's the "Lunch Box"
style of case.

You can hook up a serial terminal to either (using port "A"), but if
you're going to do that to the Lunch Box style one, you'll need a DIN-8 to
DB-25 adaptor. Fortunately, one from a MAC will work just fine. Also,
don't forget about putting a null modem in line with it.
If you don't have a keyboard connected, the Sparc will default to the
serial port, so you probably won't be able to see anything of use on the
monitor.
