Most Suns of that era don’t need intact NVRAM to run, you can just key in a few
lines of Forth when you start it up (to set its Ethernet address and serial
number), then tell it to boot off network/disk/CD, and it’ll be fine.

Sun never made their own laptop, but they made a portable called the
SPARCstation Voyager.
I own a Voyager (Can bring it to the next VCF East if needed.) I have been
looking for the padded bag that goes with it for a long time. Any leads
appreciated!

I think that's Hector Peraza's site. His email address is listed; you

Still, no luck making the console work; the 320H does not assert DTR
