Got lots of replies, thanks to all. The general consensus was:
Yes, you can run Solaris 2.5 on a SparcStation 1. But with 16MB of
RAM it will be really painful. People recommended a minimum of 24-32 Meg,
some said get 64. Others said "just buy a used Sparc 5/10".
I think I'll bring this up to 32MB of RAM, and run 2.5 .
Thanks again to all.
