I think all machines except stadler and sompek are US IIIi machines. The
problem with US IIIi is, that sun never published the cpu specs - they would
have done it if somebody would have paid for the lawyers to look trough them
before publishing. US IIi support was implemented by a student working at SUN
under NDA and US IV and later was published. So I think if dropping (official)
support for US IIIi CPUs would keep the port alive, we should do that. Running
Debian on the more recent machines makes more sense anyway imho. The older
ones are nice, but they consume a loooot of power.
