Thanks to all the folks who replied. As it turns out, the cpu's in this
sparc 10 had been harvested from an even older system, 4/600. Cypress 605
cpus arent going to run Solaris 2.6. Now I'd like to try and find and ISO
image of 2.3 to run on this thing. Anybody got a copy of 2.3, or any OS
release of Solaris that runs on a sparc station 10mp with 605b Cypress
processors? thanks all.
