-
- It should work on any machine (SPARC or non-SPARC) that has a Type 4
- keyboard and that's running a sufficiently recent SunOS 4.x release (4.1
- or later on SPARC machines and 68K-based Suns; I think 4.0.2 or so may
- have it on 386i's).
-
- It should also work on any SPARC machine that has a Type 4 keyboard and
- that's running SunOS 5.x. (I can't speak for PeeCees running 5.x....)
-
- (It should "work" with a Type 5 as well; however, the Type 5's LEDs are
- scattered about the keyboard, so playing a "by your command" sound file
- at the same time you run it won't come across quite as well. :-))
