I am very glad that our friendly competition is not sleeping.
Now, what about PCI support with IIep? I have certain hopes for
NetBSD on SunRay because Linux has no swap over NFS to speak of,
but NetBSD does. With 8MB of RAM it may be handy, don't you think?
If you have any questions about IIep, feel free to ask.
Here is the Javastation and relatives platform scorecard:

JS-1 (OBP 3.x) Solid ? works ?
