I'll try both then if I find the time (SPARCstation 2 are

Mmmm, in that case, users don't have much choice : SunOS 4.1.1
was the latest for the 68020/68030-based Sun...
The question was, is there still any interest in very old

(not necessarily for 3.0, but a later release) or is support
dropped ?
