Sun Sparc Ultra 30 help
Hi all,
I managed to salvage form work an old Sun Sparc Ultra 30. I have had it stored (controlled storage) for a few years and decided to get it home and boot it up.
It starts up with a beep then I can hear disks spinning up, CDROM moving but nothing is displayed on the monitor.
Can anyone help me troubleshooting what is failing?
Many thanks.

I have an ultra sparc 2 with no video - I connect to it with hyperterm.
Is there a way to get to the OK prompt? I have tried control/break and that does not work.
If not is there a video card I can get to put in this box?
