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!
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?
Thanks a million, you are the best!

Bravo, Nick! I look forward to the screen shots.
I'd appreciate hearing more about the CRT repairs. I have a bad CRT in a Wang system
and am hesitant to tackle it. I'd appreciate any advice you could share.
