Dear All,

A friend of mine is moving out of town and has a couple Tatung 
COMPstations U10 in mint condition
(they come with the original monitors , keyboards, and the mouses ) that 
can be mine for $10 a piece.
He claims that he is running Debian sparc 64 (with X ) but I believe 
they are actually sparc architecture not sparc 64.

I looked at the hardware notes for sparc and I see some of Tatung made 
SUN clones listed but not this particular model (there is also a 
disclaimer that the list is not complete). Does anyone have any 
experience in running OpenBSD on them?

Best,
Predrag

Although Tatung is known to have produced clones of sparc (not sparc64)
designs in the past, this name sounds like an Ultra 10 (hence sparc64)
clone.

Yes, it is.

Looks like a nice machine.

Regards,
David
