Dead ultra5

My trusty Sun Ultra 5 workstation was due for a new OS (OpenBSD 3.8) and some new hardware. But when I started it up I got the following message on the serial console:

RED State Exception on CPU = 0000.0000.0000.0001

This is Bad News(tm) according to Google. So it’s time for the scrap heap for this old machine, and the search for cool hardware continues.

(BTW, if someone needs parts for their Ultra 5, drop me a line. Maybe we can work something out.)
