Don't say that. I am still trying to sell one :) They are these great
systems :) The cool heat sink! The Panasonic branded SPARC processor and
other components!
I mean, they're fabulotastic! ;)
The MN10501 is certainly one of the most unique SPARCs, if merely for the
KAP name ...
Many of the initial run of KAP unfortunately had a bug that caused the chip
to self destruct over time. I have an old KAP that suffered from this
issue. The guys from hardware came around and replaced them all and I got
to keep the defective one...
