Such things, by definition, are a 'simulator', not an 'emulator'. They exist, they are *pricey* (think "5 figures", left of the decimal point) and they are =SLOW= (very, VERY slow!) compared to the real hardware. > I'm especially interested in trying FreeBSD/sparc64 port, but I'd also > like to test the FreeBSD/powerpc and the FreeBSD/arm ports on an > emulator, before seeking real hardware. Pick up some low-end used hardware, it's _lots_ cheaper, and will give you a better feel for how it works. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
