What would be needed in the way of additional drivers, boot support, etc to make that happen? Is sufficient info available from publically available OpenSolaris code, etc?
In a perverse way, that might actually help get more software for x86; having a single box with both SPARC and x86 (and of course, the possibility of booting Windows on the SunPCi when those disgusting apps that staff wienies can't live without get forced on real, productive people) would certainly reduce the excuses for not developing for both SPARC and x86 in parallel. Not that there might not be other ways to achieve the illusion of that, of course; but perhaps none cheaper, taking into account not only purchase price, but desk space, power, etc. I'm picking up a nice Sun Blade 2000; I _may_ break down and get a SunPCi card to go with it, so there's a remote possibility that I could have the hardware needed to explore the possibility. Whether I'd have the time is another story... This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
