An interesting related question: can you mix SuperSPARC (TI) and
HyperSPARC (Ross) CPUs? I have been running an SS20 for some months
with 60MHz SuperSPARC plus 75MHz SuperSPARC-II without problems,
but could I add, say, a Twin HyperSPARC 50MHz to an existing
SuperSPARC 60MHz?
i haven't tried but i'd expect the PROM not to let this work...
certainly, netbsd may be unhappy about it too...
