John,
Congrats on the hardware pickup.
I am also running a sun4m with dual-processor architecture. Runs great. Be
sure you are using an SMP kernel, of course...
I have not used the leo card. I understand it's 24 bits, but runs very hot
and very slow.
ON the other hand, some good news: You should be able to add the VRAM to an
SS20 (if you don't already have it) to bump it to 24-bit color, without
taking up 2 sbus slots with a leo. These VRAM kits were going for under $40
on eBay recently.
Happy Sun-ning.
