Hi! I am brand new to this list so please excuse me if I am a bit out of
topic.

I was investigating whether or not there is any actual interest in
extending the SPARC port to the 64bit SPARC64 line of processors. This is
HALs own V9 implementation, and as far as I know is a bit different from
sun's ULTRASPARC. I have a couple of such machines (HALStation 350), and I
would like to get a more recent OS for them (HAL stop supporting them
after Solaris 2.4). I was wondering if there are some one else with the
same type of HW out there, or if there is anyone working on the port
already.

Thanks! looking forward to any info in this matter.

Cheers.
