Sparc 5s came in 70, 85, 110, and 170 MHz.  The 170 is called the Turbo 
and is a bit different.

On the back there's a model number.  The 85s and 110s all have -85 or 
-110.  I've never seen a 170, but I bet that has it too.  The 70s do 
not have -70.

I've been playing with an LX I got off eBay.  I ran Debian 2.2r5, Suse 
7.3, and am now running NetBSD 1.5.2.  All from CDs downloaded off the 
net.

Oh, you don't need a keyboard or monitor to install.  You can install 
using a serial terminal as your console.  Make sure the terminal 
(hyperterm...) doesn't send a break when you turn it off.
