And I think we'll shoot ourselves in the foot if we go on thinking that money for Ultras to develop on grows on trees. Show me those freaks and developers that have enough money to buy a box just to hack code on it, whereas SS4 or SS5 get cheaper every day. I mean it is nice if you have a box to work on at home or at work, but it will take longer for the port to become reality if only those few people will work on it. I can't afford to buy a new board just to play with some code. I have my old SS4, it works for me and if you don't want to port to "plain-old-Sparc" - leave it. As someone said, there are alternatives. Christoph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
