    That said though, I know I'm going to end up frustrated trying to get anything

    Like someone else said, I'd go no later than SunOS 4.5.5 (Solaris 2.5.5) with Openwin in place of CDE. If you can find an archive of solarisfreeware.com, you'd be golden.

    solarisfreeware.com? If you mean sunfreeware.com, I have a mirror of that online: ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/ftp.sunfreeware.com/

    The latest Solaris patch cluster may also be of use: https://www.zx.net.nz/vc/updates/opsys/solaris.shtml

    ... It said "insert disk #3", but only two will fit...

    du says its 77GB (little surprised its that much!). If you want to grab a copy for safe keeping, ftp.zx.net.nz speaks rsync as well as ftp and http.
