Well, I've received more information on this so I thought it was time
to summarize.  Yes it runs SunOS 4.0.3.  It should be shipping by
December of this year.  The price in Japan translates to about $15k,
but there is no word on pricing here.

The Sony laptop I saw was a laptop NeWS 68030 running their version of
4BSD, and it hasn't been seen outside of Sony -- even some Sony
employees that I talked to don't have any knowlege of it.  My guess is
that it's newer than the Toshiba, so it could be a while before we see
one.
