this from the boot prompt of course. The 3/110 was known as the "prism"
inside of Sun as it sported the fancy new color frame buffer. Like the 3/75
before it, it took multiple VME cards, although I believe it's got four
slots to the 3/75's 3 slots. The same box was used when the "Cobra" came
out which was the first SPARC desktop implementation (called a Sun 4/110).
The nicest version of the OS to run on the 3/110 was SunOS 4.1.3 (some
would argue 4.0.2 but I digress)

I have just got back from a 680 mile round trip to
collect a free Sun 3/110
along with various external drives and a monitor (which may be reepairable).
I will post full details when I have got it all out of the car and found
out exactly what it all is. I am also going to have to dive into my SunOS
manuals to find out how to boot to single user mode and reset the root
password as it has been forgotten by its prevoius owner.
