(dropping port-vax)
I hope support for my old VAX is still around when I finally get
around to get it running again.  Linux just removed support for some
of the older SPARC systems that I collect.
That would be sun4c? Linux never really ran very well on it - they did
a much better job on sun4m and later.
 Very true.
I would not expect NetBSD/sparc sun4c support to be an issue going forward :)
 It had better not.  The day NetBSD stops supporting sun4c is the day
it stops being NetBSD.
Well, maybe in 2047 when 64bits systems are considered legacy and
32bit support is dropped, but until then :-p
Unfortunately I had to leave my IPX in the states when I came back to
the UK, (but if anyone knows of one available). I still have my
classic, but thats a sun4m.
 Oh c'mon, that IPX could've been jammed into your luggage! ;)
Trust me, I did not have a whole lot of clothing in my luggage, but I
had several other machines ahead of the list to take with me, and I
was always supposed to be going back after the visa cleared :/

Still, the classic is a nice enough little box for now...
