Oddly enough, once I actually figured out the right place to look on the
web site, I could also easily find newer ones:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-sparc.iso
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/ubuntu-8.10-server-sparc.iso
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ubuntu-9.04-server-sparc.iso
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/karmic/release/ubuntu-9.10-server-sparc.iso
