- Just for your info, I have booted the SunOS on a Sun-2/120 (yes 68010)
- with 1.1.2 ROMs. It takes a while and has a warning message, but it
- boots from tape. And it works with SunOS 4.0.3
-
- But I have heard of connect/disconnect problems with mixing the old
- SCSI equipment. Personally I don't use the 2150s on my Sun-2, it's not
- worth it, I just stick with the 60meg tape.
