There are presently no new SPARC workstations. IBM had some software that would let SPARC binaries run on x86, but as far as I know, they've killed it except for existing customers.
One of the last generation of SPARC workstations, used, should still be supportable, I think. Even with a Sun Blade 2000, the main problem I know of is lack of graphics card support. A Solaris 8 branded zone on Solaris 10 might be able to run existing applications, although in many cases, existing applications should be able to run directly on Solaris 10 or later, too. Sometimes that can be a problem with what the application vendor is willing to support. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
