Certainly not a speed demon but if you like playing around with Sun
machines it is a nice machine to play with. The simms need to be
parity but otherwise are normal ones. It will take 64MB total (4
slots 4MB or 16MB simms) and is about the speed of a 486. Ans yes is
comes with a built in monitor (mono I believe) I don't know what
shipping is with ebay, but I would buy one for $30-50 just for the fun
of it.
