  No drive is in the case of either unit.
  You can network boot them, or find a SCSI drive. (You'll need a
special cable). I doubt I have a cable, but I could look.  I might still
have a 660Mb drive.

  NetBSD 1.4.
  Honestly, if you don't know much about these, I don't suggest
learning with them.    These machines were used in 1990 (i.e. obsoleted
by businesses) They were completely obsolete in 1995.   
  Making them work would be a significant effort for someone who is an
expert in the equipment.   I stopped running 24Mb colour Sun 3/60s in
1997. Had I 3/50s or 3/160s, it would have been in 1993.

  The thing about a Sun3 is that it's too complex for random hardware
hacking, but not really useful for anything else. It has no digital I/O
or analog I/O and you can't wirewrap anything up to it.
  If you want to learn about old stuff, I suggest a C=64. Seriously.

  Or if you want to play with old stuff that can run Unix, then get
something that is known to be working when you get it.
