so microsparcII would not have been my guess. it's made by tatung,
fwtw. it still doesn't seem that much to ask, however, that there be
a much easier way to "divine" this information.
from sys/arch/sparc/sparc/cpu.c:
/* TI Microsparc II */
[ ... ]
struct module_info module_swift = {
CPUTYP_MS2,
[ ... ]
{ CPU_SUN4M, 0, 4, 0, 4, "MB86904", &module_swift },
it probably could be made available in a more available format.
it would be nice if the "platform name" of sparcs was made
avaiable via sysctl hw. eg, from:
ok dev /
ok .properties
[ ... ]
name SUNW,Ultra-5_10
[ ... ]
banner-name Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz)
[ ... ]
we could get:
hw.name = SUNW,Ultra-5_10
hw.banner-name = Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz)
