This is pretty much a SPARCstation 5 which Sun Microsystems sold as a firewall and rebadged as a SunScreen SPF-100. It originally had a nice chunky LEO 24-bit accelerated graphics card which NeXTstep, unfortunately, didn't support so I replaced it with a CG6 accelerated 8-bit framebuffer instead. A bit of a bummer but at least it now works.
I named the machine 'spunkrock' as a result of listening to too much Man.
