We just recently took our office automation package, Alis, up to Solbourne
to test its compatibility and our Sun-4 code ran like a champ.  There was
one issue with their new style keyboard not using the same key station
codes for the keyboard ioctl's, but they put a Sun keyboard compatibility
module in the kernel and everything ran fine. Nice box...
