NetBSD will give you a "modern" Unix style OS environement. NetBSD runs
quite well on those machines.

For the fun of it I instaled the "original" 4.4BSD Lite2 on my 433t.
4.4BSD was developed on this machinery.

HP-UX is one "native" OS. I haven't seen much of m68k HP-UX, but most
people don't like it that much.

DomainOS is the other "native" OS. If you are interrested in somthing
not-Unix you should get and install it. It is a very interresting system.

As already mentioned you need a Domain keyboard + mouse for DomainOS /
Aegis and a HIL keyboard + mouse for everything else.

Yes, if it supports sync on green. You can also use a serial console.
