Anyone got a trailer I can borrow?

Just wondering if DragonFly will ever support UltraSPARC platforms?

It's a silly question, as I already know it depends entirely on manpower,
but have a look at what showed up on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220092087657
26 processors, 26GB ram, 4 scsi cards, 2 gigabit NICs.

It'd be a nice system to test SMP/clustering code, without needing multiple
machines...

Yah well... it might also be like the Data Printer CT-1064 1000 LPM monster I 
once picked up for my Z-80 for a mere US$100.

Helps if you own your own coal mine to power the half-ton beast....

;-)

Multiple machines are probably a more realistic test anyway.

Plus - they need not be 24 X 7 X 365 dedicated or even necessarily on the same 
continent.

Volunteers joining/leaving the test 'pool' on some spare/idle time schedule
CETI style would provide a real test...
