macppc are all vintage architectures. You apparently never run OpenBSD
on Sparc64 hardware since otherwise you would know that OpenBSD support
for Sparc64 was only second to Solaris. OpenBSD is the only operating
system other than Solaris which support UltraSPARC IV/T1/T2 and Fujitsu
SPARC64-V/VI/VII chip-sets. That was the favorite hardware of OpenBSD
developers before it died circa 2004. Sun Blade 2500 gray was the last
and the greatest.
Wait, just for correctness about what's being manufactured, Sparc
desktops indeed died but the servers are extremely good and fully up to
date, only caveat is the price -
There's the Fujitsu Sparc M10 line,
http://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/servers/unix/sparc/ ,
and Oracle Sparc T7 ,
https://www.oracle.com/servers/sparc/t7-1/index.html .
This was what you meant right?
