I did some porting to Fujitsu stuff a very long time ago, back when an
SS20 was hot news.

But back at that time Fujitsu was making bigger servers (running SysVr4,
and though I don't remember which CPU they had, it may not even have
been SPARC) and they were just selling Sun workstations, not even
"re-badged" IIRC.

I suspect you're referring to the primepower systems.

You probably won't find much in the way of end-user commentary unless
you read Japanese, or unless you trust the Fujitsu supplied docs.
