My experience indicates that that's an overreaction. I see no problem
with the more recent sun4c machines - the only ones I specifically
recall seeing trouble on are the 1, the 1+, the IPC, and either an SLC
or an ELC, I forget which: the ones with software-flush caches. In
particular, the 2 and the IPX have never given me any trouble.
unfortunately, i had problems with both SS2's and IPXen.... i've
had them basically forever. never had a /sparc machine stay up
more than 100 or so days until i had a sun4m machine. they're
sitting in my closet if anyone in melbourne wants them :-)
