Sun 3/80 - 68030 architecture in a 'pizza box' it was Sun's fall back
machine if the SPARCStation didn't sell well. Not many sold so it isn't
well supported, runs SunOS 4.1.x (available free from Sun Germany for
private use).
Sun IPC - The first Sun "macintosh" integrated SPARC chip (a Tsunami I
believe) and had small form factor "shoebox". THe LX version is the
desirable one.

I know this is probably OT, so you can email me
off-list if you can help. I
need
some advice from some experienced Sun folks.
I have the opportunity to pick up a 3/80 and an IPC. I need someone to
help me
find docs or help me with hookup/boot procedures. I am
a complete newbie to
Suns, and would like to try running Linux. I can't find any specs on the
3/80 as
far as internal architecture, so that would be a good starting point.
I know I'm jumping on a pretty steep learning curve, but I want to play
with a
real OS.
Let me know, please. I appreciate the help.
Thanks.
