I have two NetBSD sparcs at home:
(o) SS2 w/64M, Magma 4 port serial, 2G DAT tape and 2.5G SCSI:
home DNS, dhcp, WINS, etc
(o) Classic w/96M, 2G SCSI: mail server, backup DNS and WINS
I have another SS2 that's in need of a new PROM (anyone got
one they wanna throw my way? :) Once I have it up and running
properly, I'll install NetBSD on it.
I also have an Ultra 1/170E that I use as my workstation (yeah!
64-bit mid-90's style). It's currently running Solaris 9 due to
NetBSD's poor support for my Creator3D.
I'd still love to get an SMP SS20 - first sparc I ever admined was
a dual SS20 with a big external array. Can't remember the details
of the CPUs, but it was a cool machine :)
