IIRC, SPARC 20s and SPARC 10s are sun4ds.
Sorry, they're still sun4ms. (I think sun4d postdates the sun4u,
which would imply that sun4ds are 64-bit machines...which the 20 and
10 definitely aren't; I have some and know them.)
Geeze, of all people to get
something about SPARC wrong, I wouldn't
think you'd be calling Sun4d 64bit! [...]
Ah! Thanks for the explanation. (I've never worked with a sun4d
machine; you may note that I didn't quite claim the 4d was 64-bit, only
that something I wasn't sure of seemed to imply it.)
By they way, _are_ they post-sun4u designs? I'm fairly sure I didn't
hear of a sun4d until after I'd heard of a sun4u, but of course that's
not the same thing.
When I get home, I will own zero machines that can run
Solaris X.
As I have no interest in running Solaris of any stripe, I will
cheerfully take all those old klunkers of SPARCs off your hands... :-)
The only
reason I (do/would) ever run Solaris on a machine is to
upgrade firmware to be able to use a different OS with the machine,
or to reverse engineer a driver. :)
Well, you, maybe, but I think it was our friend at Penguin Central that
was going on about having no machines capable of running Solaris X and
indicating a desire for a more recent Sun. (I'm right with you on what
Solaris is good for, myself.)
