I don't know much about the other questions so I'll let others tackle them. 
I am sure you can get Sun OS 4.1 or whatever is latest for the 3/60 but talk 
to your Sun rep. I hear 4.1 will be the last OS upgrade available from Sun  
since the standard after next year will be System V Release 4 -- and 
available for SPARC only (from Sun that is).  Perhaps you can get SVr4 from 
Commodore-Amiga by then.  The 3/60 is a 16MHz 68020 soit probably cranks out 
about 2 mips -- maybe 4 mips max. I crudely ran a drhystone (version 1.0 I 
think) and it showed about 4500 dhrystones per second.  

Just out of curiousity, would you please e_mail me the price and 
configuration of 3/60 you're getting? I'm trying to talk my boss into 
getting us a used Sun and like to keep up with the market prices.

Hope the info helps some.
