This brings to mind another question I've had: Is there anywhere these days that you can get SunOS 4.1.4 on CDROM? If possible, I'd like to do a fresh OS load on a Sparc 5 with an attached SCSI CD, on the theory that this may be less hassle than tape. (You can do an OS load this was from the PROM, can't you?) -- + Brent A.
