- the following is SPARCard 2's specs:
-
- - 40 Mhz Sparc processor
- - FPU
- - 8 memory
- - 213MB harddisk
- - Solaris 1.0
- - color frame buffer
-
- and from the picture in BYTE, the card comes with 3 ports.

- (see... all you need now is a keyboard and a multi-sync monitor...)
- (where does the sound go? I dunno!)

-
- If keyboard is the only thing that is necessarily to "communicate" with
- the Spacard, I don't see why we need EISA to do that.
-
- ZorroIII? I don't think ZorroIII version exists. However, you could
- plug it into one of the AT slots of your A3000.
