I am sitting on a pile of it here and can get more. It is now available inexpensively. The last I heard the Foundation was not interested in accepting any more used machines so I stopped pursuing it. I have been building sparc64 packages since early this summer. They are in ... decent .. shape. The currently online machine is 2 x 1.5GHz 16GB. Not thrilling but usable. Most ports build. I'm willing to spend time working on ports if people want. People have to decide what they want, however. mcl
