The older SunOS system runs very well on this, but condider that if you
need to use a "modern" hard drive, you will be limited to about 2GB (I think)
if you use one of the older OS's. That is why I went to NetBSD, it has kept
up with the latest hardware...

Probably pretty close to being on topic. You can
run up to either Solaris
2.6 or 7 on it. Max RAM is 64MB, or 96/128MB with special S-Bus and
piggyback cards (32MB each). Uses Narrow SCSI. I'd recommend checking out
OpenBSD or NetBSD for it. It's old and slow so a lightweight OS helps.
Since this is a retro list, let's not forget Solaris 1 (aka SunOS 4).
I'm typing this now on a Sun type 3, connected to an IPX running 4.1.4.
But I'll confess, I'm willing to deal with having to tweak builds on
occasion, since SunOS4 is hardly mainstream any more.
