Not sure of the memory, will need to look that up. I do have a sun 2 keyboard, I wonder
if it is a possibility to connect it to the bwtwo video board exclusively for the keyboard
use, while maintaining the bwone video board at the same time for video use.

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?
