Someone was prepared to donate an old 32-proc Sequent machine (S81: 386/20
procs, maybe 256MB RAM, couple SCSI channels and disks) to Alan Cox a
while ago (6mo?) but he was unable to find anywhere to put it (7ft x 3ft x
4ft, needs 3-phase, heats your house, etc.) at the time. Perhaps if
someone has space in a data center to put it, and it still exists, someone
could get it online (after shipping it from France or somesuch) and let
people port to it.
A good starting place would be Mach, which was ported to that exact
machine a while ago by a professor I work with. I think all the hardware
needed for this large machine is supported by the Mach port, which is
still available somewhere...
