Hi,

if you have too many of them there is a bunch of people who would take 
them :)

A list of the people who needs them to support the UltraSPARC (the 64bit 
  SPARC-processors) better with FreeBSD can be found here:

And if you have more than you can handle, mail me ;)

Marc

These are 32-bit SPARCS and therefore useless for the sparc64 port.

I do believe there is a port of NetBSD for sparc cpu's, but does anyone
know if it will run on open or freebsd? With preference for freebsd
obviously, though I believe it's the one least likely to take to the
sparc processor.  I can get a hold of 4-5 of them hopefully from my
university, and I'd love to mess around with them.

O/T: Would any of you know what would be hiding inside a Sun
sparc-server 670 MP?  (obviously my university is upgrading their
solaris computer lab ;-) )
