I suppose I can go down whenever it would work best for everyone that's
riding along. I don't have any specific times I can't do in the
mornings, just those two evenings.

Done.

PCMCIA is supported, but if I only need it to back up the Sparc it
won't be necessary. I managed to come up with another one (don't ask),
so I'll format the drive on it and start trying to get Debian/Sparc
running this weekend. As before, anyone who can help, I'd really
appreciate it.

BTW, I happen to have a few older 486's (w/nics, no monitors) laying
around doing nothing right now. If any of this stuff would be useful let
me know and I'll see about getting them up and running.
