Is there anything besides what's mentioned on the sparc port website you need of documentation in order to do development work? Anything besides that needs done? Personally I have an interest in using the Ultra1 as a diskless workstation with X support, so that could be one thing. It seems though, that other issues needs work before that though. Hopefully, the sbus is supported (Or I have to put some wood under vim and fire it up :) And ooh, way to go with this port. -- Jesper - Java er noget der skal drikkes, ikke kodes i.
