Hi Ben, unfortunately, the floppy drive in this machine is very dead. It
just makes a loud clacking sound, and the disk that was put into the drive
is damaged such that it won't work on any other machine afterward...
The machine is a SPARC 2, sun4c obviously, It's using openboot prom v2.9,
and the serial number is 3287983. Not sure if that's any benefit to
anyone *8-)
