The SPARCclassic X is actually a SPARCclassic with a slight NVRAM change
to change the name and not initialise the SCSI controller. This can be
changed back (instructions are in the Sun NVRAM FAQ, I believe) and you
will have a fully functional SPARCclassic, which NetBSD runs on. (The
LX is a classic with a CG6 instead of a CG3 built-in.)

What's this, the monochrome version of the classic, perhaps? I'd say
it's likely we run on it, whatever it is.

I had kinda thought that these were the multiprocessing (dual CPU)
versions of these, but perhaps these were monochrome, too. Anyway, if
they are dual-CPU, we run on them just fine, though after spinning up the
second CPU we don't actually do anything with it. If they're monochrome,
we'd run on them fine as well.
