nice machine, indeed :)

But I think the CPU will be far too slow for playing mp3s. All I could
play was raw mylaw .au files with 8khz under RedHat Linux 4 Sparc (switched
over later to NetBSD cause Linux got really slow somehow, some memory
problem.. dunno). does the NetBSD audio support work under all Sparcs?

later
