Well, it turns out that what I want to do is not [currently] 
achievable. There are several ways of connecting a Sun-5 keyboard to 
a non-Sun machine, but no identifiable means of connecting a USB 
keyboard to an Ultra-1.

The monitor question is easily solved via the VGA adaptor mentioned above.

I appreciated the informative responses from David Fung and Alvaro Figueroa.

Cheers,
Vince
