I think only the ELC and SLC (basically an IPC pizzabox mounted on the back
of a monitor) had no room for an internal disk; all the others SPARCs did have
an internal disk.

Of course, you may not have a SPARCStation 1+ without the disk.  They'll probably
won't boot anymore because their NVRAM battery has run out and so there is no
valid content when starting OpenBoot.
