I've got a nice SPARCstation 5 (110MHz, 256MB, 5GB, CD, etc.) which does
the job of being a Solaris playpen and soon will have Debian SPARC too
(it's in Reading, I can only do major updates when I'm there :P).

Well indeed. I have been talking to John Burns -
http://unixnerd.demon.co.uk/ about prices and was quoted 350quid or so
inc. VAT and delivery for an Ultra 5 (64MB, 64 more for 29quid+VAT), which
isn't bad at all I suppose. There's an Ultra 10 I'm watching on Ebay but
I'll check out a few of the links posted thus far. I don't really mind too
much which Ultra as long as I can add UW SCSI-2 to it and run in 64bit
mode without that nasty CPU stall bug that affected original Ultras.
Jon.
