[SunRescue] Tatung Mariner 4i

[Michael-John Turner]

Hi all

I've just acquired an old Tatung Mariner 4i, a SPARC-based machine, and
need a bit of help finding more info on it. It's rather odd in a number
of ways:
- kernel arch is mars4sprat (app arch is sun4)
- it has an ISA Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller to which the boot disk (A FH
  Seagate) and PC-style 3.5" drive are connected
- it uses a standard PC-style DIN keyboard connector (albeit with a custom
  Tatung keyboard with a Sun-style layout)
- it has a PC-style large desktop case

Inside, it has 8x30pin SIMM slots on the motherboard, 2 or 3 ISA slots (I'm
not near the machine ATM so I can't confirm) and what I think are 2 SBus
slots. There's what I think is a cgtwelve in one of those and a memory
expansion board in the other (the latter has 16x30 pin SIMM slots, 8 of
which are currently occupied). AFAICS, the only other ports are 2 serial
and one for the optical mouse

Here's the dmesg output:

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Can they run standard SunOS 4.1.x?
