The old Apple (Sony) external cdroms have big external
terminators, hard to miss. The machine has no floppy and
I have have a local lan but nothing is set up for booting
from a net connection. I would have to study up on this
just to try it. I was hoping that Debian-Sparc 3.0r1 would
support my particular hardware configuration but maybe
not. Seems the ZX frame buffer is the killer. If anyone
knows about the scsi looping error on install, I would
like to hear.
