Have just played with QEMU (Debian qemu/2.1+dfsg-5+b1); the current Debian daily image (20141111-00:26) begins to boot without panic starting from 144 MiB of QEMU's RAM. 2014-11-10 from Patrick Baggett: > One virtue of the SPARC machines is that they have > really high max RAM capacity relative to their time. > I haven't owned a SPARC machine with less than 1GB. I can recommend Sun Ultra 5 & Ultra 10 :) These systems can have max. 1 GiB of RAM (usually come with 128, 256 or 512 MiB, but fortunately upgradeable). BTW, 64-bit CPU with max. 440 MHz clock is great too :) --- Best wishes, Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
