Why does that sound familiar? Hmmm... still have a SPARCStation IPX running at 
40 (yes, fourty) MHz with Solaris 7 and IPFilter on it, with a modified power 
supply, stripped out floppy drive, enhanced cooling and mirrored drives. Apart 
from a failed drive, that thing's been running for about five years now (before 
that, it had been collecting dust on a shelf in someone's office for years and 
years).
