[comp.sys.sun] 386i home computer?

Hello,
I am close to making a decision on buying 386/i cache version as a home
computer.  I am planning to buy only 4 meg memory to start with. Will this
cause any problems?  Also, the disk that I can afford right now is the
91meg drive. Obviously I will need another disk in a couple of days.
However I have the option of buying the diskless work station. Is there
any one out there who knows about compatible disks for 386i?  Is it
possible to buy say a 150meg drive (compatible with the SUN 386i) around
2000 dollars.  Also, I am wondering if the disk controller is it already
built in the machine with cables.  If so, I can buy some thing like a CDC
Wren series drive and just stick it in the slot.

Any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
