I'm not aware of an UltraSPARC port of Windows so I wouldn't expect       install media to boot, let alone get far enough to ask for drivers. Perhaps       it's something like an Ultra 20 or 40 though.               KW> Now, I'd love to get an old Sparcstation LX with a Weitek Power        > -Up chip, been wanting to go "classic" UNIX for a while.               My 32-bit SPARCstations are long-since recycled. A lunchbox SPARC       wouldn't take up much space but the cooling wasn't great on them. I have a       soft spot for the SLC and ELC but either of those would be hard for me to       justify today.              -Andy Ball              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 2 18/200 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 116/18 120/331 123/140       SEEN-BY: 123/1970 128/2 153/7715 218/700 220/60 222/2 226/17 229/107       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 728 981 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100 282/1031       SEEN-BY: 282/1056 291/1 111 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13       SEEN-BY: 342/200 393/68 396/45 633/0 267 280 281 408 410 412 640/1384       SEEN-BY: 712/132 620 848 886 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 3634/12 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5053/58       PATH: 261/38 712/848 633/280 229/426           |
