Do you have to stick with SPARC? Your Ultra 5 is going to be way slower

I don't have to; it's just that I have a number of these good old machines
around and they're quite adequate for what I'm working on. OpenBSD seems
to still support them, so maybe I'll give that a go.
Sure, but before spending much time on them, do bare in mind they are
about same performance as a 15-20 year old Pentium II system.
You could probably move all their workloads to a single current x86
system, and have loads of CPU capacity left over, and consume less power
than a single Ultra 5.
