    I forgot to ask what processor and memory is in that thing?

    I have an M3000 in my life also but it is a useless brick. One can
not run anything on it except for old old Solaris 10 or maybe the
Solaris 11.3 release. However "Larry Lawnmower" says no. You can not run
11.3 on that hardware anymore and it won't even boot Solaris 11.4 at
all. Forget it. Nothing else can be installed at all. I can try NetBSD
9.3 one more time but thus far the process has been just terrible. Sadly
the thing has 64G of ECC memory in it and it runs fine. Runs nothing. A
room heater. The Fujitsu M10-1 has to better as it can not be worse.
