My 2/120 has six serial ports, a monochrome connector, and two RJ11
connectors on the back.
One RJ11 is for the keyboard and one is for the mouse. I believe that
two of the serial ports
are on the CPU and four are on the SCSI controller. The keyboard and
mouse serial ports
are on the monochrome video board.

Thanks everyone (especially Bear) for the
wonderful help in reviving my Sun
1 Computer (100u to be exact).
After extensive CRT repairs, a EPROM reprogram (from Rev N to V100), my Sun
is now booting via the Sun2 CPU card and the bwone video board.
Will upload screenshots tomorrow!
Excellent stuff! Looking forward to more pictures :)
Out of curiosity how much memory do you have for the system (just
wondering about different OS options :)
Next step is to acquire a keyboard and mouse.
Anyone have a series 1
Parallel Keyboard and mouse? Or have any ideas on what type of keyboard or
mouse would be compatible (if I was able to rewire to DB25). It appears to
be a serial protocol, are the old RJ45 keyboards of the same format? Other
ideas?
As its a sun2 board with modified firmware maybe it might be possible
to get it talking to a sun2 serial keyboard?
