Welcome Steve-Dave

Last week I went down to San Jose and picked up an UltraSparc 5. The specs
are:

  • 333 MHz UltraSparc IIi with 2MB cache
  • 512MB Ram (50ns stuff I think)
  • 8.4GB IDE HDD (I’ll add another one later, this is fine for now)
  • ATI video on-board (runs X-Windows at 1280×1024 16-bit with no problems)

That’s pretty much it. I’ve got OpenBSD-current running on it (3.4-beta
as of this writing). Ports work fine except I already found a problem
with my audio/p5-CDDB_get port, it fails the ioctl on big endian machines.

In keeping with my naming convention of characters from Kevin Smith movies (with one exception, but I just loved the name smudge too much not to use it) I’ve named this one Steve-Dave after the owner of Comic Toast in Mall Rats (mostly because it starts with an “s” just like sparc64).
