I received a mail from Steve Rikli on Tuesday to say that he’s finally managed to get USPS to ship me a SPARCstation 5 (170Mhz TurboSPARC model) that he has surplus. To be honest, I probably have way too many old RISC workstations cluttering my server room, but I have a soft spot for any and all Sun hardware.

Like all my SPARC machines, it’ll get an installation of NetBSD/sparc when it arrives (hopefully in 6-8 weeks – the joys of surface shipping).
