At work, we're running NetBSD on an IPC upgraded with a Cycle 5 board.  They
are actually mentioned on the port-sparc web page under "Supported System
Models". ;-)

Only oddities I can think of - `shutdown -p` doesn't work with the upgrades
for the older machines (no 'soft' power supply) and you can't get both the 
30pin SIMM's and the internal speaker in the IPC upgrade ;-)

I seem to remember that they're not cheap (I sent a message sometime last
year with a rough price) - you're probably looking at at least $1000.  Get
a second hand Sparc 5 instead?

PS.  Cycle merged with Tadpole/RDI a few months ago.
