     They would use the sun3 port.  The size of the drive depends on
what was put into them.  Both machines support the old 50 pin SCSI
drives, so they could always be changed.  4 MB of RAM is probably not
enough to do anything useful with modern NetBSD.  16 MB may work with a
lot of trimming.  Note that the 3/160 is a "deskside" machine.  It is
VME based and is a rather large box.  It would also suck a lot of
power and be very noisy.

     He runs NetBSD 1.4T, an ancient developement version.  1 TB drives
are barely out on the market.  I don't think there are any 1.4 TB
drives.
