It's really rather ludicrous, given how even the IDT Solbournes
really only
run OS/MP. My affection for them is largely nostalgia; as SPARC
systems they
are quite finicky and the later SPARCstations surpassed even the
S4100 in
performance. It's really the S3000 that's the gem because of that
wacky
plasma display.
Solbourne positioned the later multi-processor MP systems against
the Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 as long as the software mix gained from
multiprocessing were they a potent method of getting more CPU
especially if your app sw was dependent on SunOS 4.
When Solaris 2.5 came out or more properly when SunOS 5 with its
mp support became stable enough and more vendors ported their
software to SunOS 5 solbourne lost their edge against Sun.
