I can use a 220R and an E250 (2xUltraSPARC II/400MHz, 2GB RAM) for such
"games", maybe an E450 later this year.

When (if) there is something going for USIII, there is this v210 (USIIIi)
and an SB1000 w/ 2xUSIII/600 (this is a pre-series machine w/ processors
not able to run at the normal speed of 750MHz. Not shure about the cache
size...)
You can count me in for testing whatever there is/will be for MP-Sparc.
Just mail me what testing is needed...
