	That would more accurately be referred to as a UE1, as in Ultra 
Enterprise 1.  You don't need the U when referring to more modern 
UltraSPARC based servers (such as the E250, a.k.a.., UE250), because 
there is no earlier model that could potentially have a similar and 
confusing name.

	IIRC, the "Enterprise" bit simply means that the machine is 
configured more as a server than as a desktop workstation, so it will 
tend to have a less powerful video card installed (if any), etc....


	Therefore, you could just refer to this particular machine as a 
U1 or Ultra-1, which will avoid the potential confusion with the 
older SPARCstation 1 (which is usually referred to as an SS1).
