There is a CD ROM with it with Solaris 1.0.1. I 'm not sure if that
is what is in it though. I'll have to check. It doesn't have a CD ROM drive
or floppy but does have one of those Sun connectors on the back
that could go to a drive.
Is it a standard 50-pin SCSI-2 connector?
Yes, I think thats it. Small connector. I'll count the pins today.
Solaris 1.0.1 is SunOS 4.1.2. The last of that series is 4.1.4_U1.
This is BSD-based SunOS.
Sounds good.

I mostly use emacs at work ( just used to the keyboard macros and such ) but
I can make up a cheat sheet for vi. Many of the others are more
familiar with vi than I am, not having grown up in the UNIX world.
I'll just do a man on vi to get the important commands. like save and exit.
I've used vi a couple times but just not that familiar with it.
