I have aquired a couple of Sun Ultra 1 Creator 3D machines, with keyboard and mouse. I will try to make at least one of them work, and install FreeBSD/sparc64 on it. Things i need:

a monitor adapter, from the Sun-monitor-type plug to "normal type" VGA (15 pin) connector
- 13W3 to VGA adapter aquired; bought from a net shop.
disks with SCA 80-pins connector. Luckily, I already have a spud bracket.
- Drive aquired. I found a 36GB SCA drive fairly cheap.
