I have a Fujitsu Leia2 S-4. Does anyone have a manual for it? (even if it's
Japanese)

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.

This document shows some data on this unit. It is like the design
of today's ALL IN ONE computers offering an uncluttered footprint on the
desk top. Never saw one of these either in person!
Another NEAT one! Ed#
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!

A company called RDI made the Britelite and Powerlite laptops. They
eventually merged with Tadpole, which made its own SPARC laptops
(SPARCbooks). As someone else mentioned, there were different Britelite
models based on the various Sun lunchbox system boards. When I had my
Britelite IPX on dis
Very Nice collection! Yes have to love that laptop. Did not know SUN made
one. or I guess a third party put the Sun goodies in a case of their
design? either way NEAT!
Seeing a nice run of systems like this in wonderful condition is great!

There is only room for drives in the top half of the chassis. The PSU

Yes. It is next to floppy in the upper half of the chassis. There is a
50-pin (IDC connectors) ribbon cable that goes down to system board at
the bottom of the lower half of the chassis. The chassis splits in the
vertical middle in a, if looking at the chassis, fairly obvious place.

Well, as I said, in my experience, the NVRAMs that you can buy new from
Mouser work good enough. And the mod to the original battery isn't that
hard to make.
In my experience with IPCs, the bigger problem is the power supplies. If
