Ultra5s (and Ultra10s) are worth less than keyboards. ;) The worst

They are not that bad once you add a SCSI card to the U5, a better video
card would help as well. More of a cheap PC design with a sparc CPU.
Yes. Which is why I say they suck. :) Compare the build quality to
something like an Ulra2 or an Ultra60!

The machine
came without a keyboard or mouse and I think I need at
least a keyboard to get it to boot.
If no keyboard is connected the machine
defaults to serial console on
the first serial port. (IIRC this is the DB25 one.) 9600 8n1. Before
investing money in a keyboard and mouse you should check if the machine
lives at all via the serial console.
