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.
