sb1000 and was trying to put an old version of opensolaris on it (to
hold me over till OI) and it can't find drivers for any of the video
cards during install. I have tried xvr1200,xvr100, and an old
expert/elite 3d (not
I just picked up 2 x7310a chips for 100$ so I am anxiously awaiting OI
for my SB1000!

Thanks for all your kind comments.

As I said before, I still need a few days (1 week?, 2 weeks?, 3 weeks?).

Sure,

Hi Sašo,
Oh, my curiosity certainly isn't worth changing your schedule for. I
don't have anything running yet. I have a couple of older Netra 240
machines (currently on S10) which I could use for some testing, but that
will take me some days to bootstrap, so no need to hurry with the bins

Or which other vendor can offer a comparable CPU with up to 64 threads

Does illumos boot in a SPARC T4 processor at all?

Letting alone the low power consumption per cycle.
It would be interesting to see an independant benchmark between this
CPU and the latest 16-core
Fantastic! I can't wait to fire up my sb1000 again!

Hello all,
There are some discussions about whether illumos on SPARC is
a dead-end or not (i.e. whether it is stupid to buy HW systems
from the one vendor and not buy their software support, or if
there is more than one vendor, or if anyone would pick up the
open-sourced processor designs for
