Hi John

A SPARCStation 2 is a very old Sun machine (1991 I think.), so You can't
finde much infomation about it on Sun's homepage.
I think you should chek Sunhelp's homepage on: www.sunhelp.org
where there is a lot of informationabout Sun HW and SW, like FAQ's and links to
several other sites.

I hope You can use it.

Greetings
Kent
