I'm trying to save some cosmetically damaged Sun gear from being sold as scrap. The configurations are: Sun E4500 12x400MHz CPU 12GB RAM Sun Fire 6800 24x750MHZ (or possibly 48, they can't remember) 64GB RAM They're huge, but we have space in our datacenter for them if I can match their scrap value. I'm thinking they could be very interesting for people working in SMP or scheduler developers. Non-power-of-2 number of CPUs, large number of CPUs, huge memory, etc. I'd need to match the price they'd get for spare parts / scrap metal to take them(and somehow come up with that cash), but I'm happy to provide space/power/cooling/bandwidth/remote access if any of the sparc developers would actually use this. Before I go too far down the road here, would any kernel hackers want a chance to bang on one of these? I could set up remote access. -- Kevin
