Our Sun account manager has leaked to me that this machine is diskless,
but does have a SCSI connector.  He described it as having the motherboard
of the 4/60 inside the monitor's case.  Only monochrome, initially.  He
did rule out it being an X terminal.  Sun deals in distributed processing
so they won't enter this market.

It will be interesting to see what it's capabilities are.
