I was given a pair of Sparcstation 5 machines today, and have a few questions.

They currently don't have any floppy or CD drives. For the CD side of things, I have a Plextor Ultraplex SCSI which I think should work.
However, as for the floppy, I have a spare PC floppy drive, but I have no idea if it will work.
They came with a combined scsi and ethernet card the middle sbus slot, I can't find the version number on it though.

I was also given an external 2.5gig tape drive (a tandberg TDC 4220). Apparently it takes MAGNUS 2.0, MAGNUST2.5 DC 9200, DC 9250 or equivalent media. Is there a more common name for these tapes?

Lastly, does anyone know a place in the UK selling the 13W3 to VGA adaptors (and keyboard adaptors or keyboards) so I can use a normal PC monitor.

The plan is to run linux on them, as they are running sunos at the moment, and I don't know the root (or any other) passwords.

Any other advice about running Linux on Sparcstations would be welcome... =)
