       * With HardRAM, can I boot, run, and shutdown without ever

yes.  in fact you don't even boot, when you power up you are right
back where you started from when you powered down.

       * Can a SparcStation read/write its floppies?

yes.  I have done it before.  use 'sparc-mtools' from comp.sources.misc.
