[comp.os.mach] Mach for SPARC?

francis@cs.ua.oz.au (Francis Vaughan) (01/11/91)

Many moons ago there was talk of Mach being ported to SPARC based
machines. The rapid demise of Sun-3 machines (and also the nasty
memory layout problems these machine have) makes the need for a
SPARC version all the more urgent. When I spoke to people at CMU
in October '89 there was talk of "real soon now". So what is the
story now? 

We have SPRACStations sitting ready and waiting, and its getting hard
to justify keeping old clunking Sun-3 machines around. The 386
port is good, but of less use to us.
