Okay, let me take a stab at it, here:
2 - Sun 3 (2 x 2/60)
6 - SPARC (4/260, 2 x SLC, 1+, 2 x Classic)
2 - VAX (2 x VAXstation 2000)
5 - DECstation (5000/200, 2 x 5000/125, 5000/25, 3100)
2 - Alpha (Multia, AlphaStation 200)
3 - HP 9000/300 (380, 340, 319)
1 - HP 8000/834
1 - NeXT 68040 Cube
1 - MVME-147
4 - Shark
1 - Macintosh Quadra 650
1 - Power Macintosh 7200
1 - Motorola Firepower LX (dual 604e system)
1 - Data General AViiON 4000
...those are only the things which would be remotely capable of running
NetBSD (or already do, obviously :-)
Other amusing items:
4 - Integrated Solutions, Inc. VME-68020 systems (1 working
V16 model, 1 working V8 model, 2 spare V8s for parts).
These are, as the name implies, VME systems w/ 68020
CPUs, and a proprietary MMU. They are currently running
4.2BSD (and I've built kernels for them from source :-)
No, I don't plan on ever porting to these things. (I did
once, which is why I have them, but when I realized I'd
have to rewrite the boot ROM, I changed my mind :-)
1 - TRS-80 Model I, with Level-II basic, Expensive^WExpansion
Interface, floppy drive, cassette drive, 150bps acoustic
coupler modem, Fortran 77 compiler.
1 - Atari ST, in unknown condition (rescued from a former
roommate's attic when I moved to California)
1 - Amiga 500, in unknown condition (rescued from a different
friend's dumpster :-)
1 - Coleco Adam (works! Go Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom!)
...oh, couple of Dell laptops, but PCs aren't interesting :-)
