[rescue] EIO card in HP 4M

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: Lionel Peterson <lionel4287 at gmail.com>

" I think an Ultra 2 (or the near-identical Ultra 60) could hold its weight for
" many end-user applications, but the big challenge would likely be building an
" environment that includes a current (presumably secure?) browser.

something like say icedragon or basilisk?

would it be anything more than laborious chasing down of pkg
dependencies?

imho the main drag would be the 400MHz cpus vs. 2+GHz multicore cpus
today, even if the sparc arch is *really* superior.

" It's not that hard to adapt 13W3 video to something more current, and the 2
" gig of memory is plenty of room for most applications.

a pity we can't just use hdmi versions of even the pci sun graphics
cards...

" I've forgotten, how loud are Ultra 60s? It's been a very long time since I
" powered one up.

i've got one here, somewhere...
