Thanks, Rich.

I am going to get the VSIMM for the SPARC. I think the keyboard I have
is toast, so I am getting a keyboard as well, then going to try the
Stop-A and Stop-F.

I am a bit new to the Sun SPARC environment, so I am doing a lot of
reading right now. Will these systems support Solaris 9? I am running
256 MB RAM right now and have some slots available.
