I acquired a large stack of Solaris disks from a local university, and I've 
actually got a copy of SunOS 1.1.

I'm not planning on installing it ;)

I actually installed Solaris8 on one of my SparcStation5's, I believe it was 
the only remotely current versions that would even run on that box.  I think 
originally it ran Solaris 2.6.1?  Suffice to say, its sister box which is 
running NBSD 2.0 is quite a bit more responsive.
