illumos on SPARC is a reality now, thanks the work of a number of
people, but we're still working on creating a reasonable developer
environment everyone can use (probably in the form of an OpenIndiana
release).

I have a pair of T1000s which I'm hoping to get online soon, but if
you have power and network connectivity for these systems (and their
LOMs!) a number of people may find them useful.
