Tests on UltraSPARC I are always welcome.
Not UltraSparc II but UltraSparc II (not IIe, IIi) is it still of
interest or are these subrevision not of interest?

I didn't even remember I bought as second CPU board for that... and then
essentially never used it much! Time to dust it up! It was already
de-solarized with the CPU upgrade and is running an old NetBSD version.
I'll upgrade it first.
I Indeed have an original Ultra 1! It has a non-booting Solaris 7 -
perhaps one of the two disk is busted. It will get Linux!

More interesting? Both?

Off-topic: Ultra2 has invalid NVRAMs... I just set the date and it
worked, MAC address not lost yet.
In the past, I was able to source the chips and replace them, or I went
the hard route to dissect them and attach a new battery to them. How is
the situation now? can those chips still be sourced "new" at a decent
price or are they NOS with dead batteries? super-expensive? alternatives?
I also got once Dallas chips, they were not working, not really
incompatible.
