Do you mean an Ultra1? A SPARC 1 wouldn't have a 100Mb NIC nor would it 
run Solaris 9, and would be unlikely to have a disk even as big as 2GB. 
It would also be a useless piece of junk except to an antique computer 
collector.

An Ultra1 is not as useful as it used to be as it won't run Solaris 10, 
which limits its usefulness as a Solaris test machine, but it'll run 
Linux (e.g. Debian) fine and would be a nice little machine for someone 
wanting to play with Linux (or *BSD) on a SPARC.

Regards, Ian

PS no I don't want it, I have 3 SPARCs already:)
