I have an SBUS framebuffer or two, the I/O cards can use that, and even the E6500 has a keyboard port.... yes, you can run one in headed mode....I just have to round up a keyboard extension for Sun....or a Sun to PS/2 adapter (I think I have that item, if I can round it up). _______________________________________________ sparc mailing list sparc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/sparc
