Correct Al, my 100U has a Sun2 CPU card and a bwone and bwtwo (not sure why both). I was
attempting to use the bwtwo card, as the bwone card was not working. With Bear's
help, we are thinking the ROM on the Sun2 CPU card is a later revision, and needs to be
back-revved to an earlier version for the bwone to active properly. Will report back with
my findings and screen shots!
Anyone have a Sun1 Keyboard or mouse they are willing to sell/trade?

A 100U doesn't use a BW2 card, which was designed by Sun Microsystems.
It uses the earlier SUN workstation card designed at Stanford. The 100U
was a 'brain transplant' for the original SUN-1 CPU card, replacing the
CPU with a Sun-2 CPU and memory, but leaving the rest of the cards alone.
