I will get in contact with some of those kernel developers and ask wait for some good recommendations or hints. I have only my very very very old Sparcstation at home, but I know some sparc-addicted NetBSD people which have tons of them. I will ask them if they could provide me 2 or 3 of them and I will also try to use my vitamine B at Sun Microsystems, maybe they have still some 32bit stuff which they can donate. So, who wants to help us? (I CCed [EMAIL PROTECTED], maybe there are some other people who are interested in rescuing the sparc32 arch) Regards, -- .''`.
