So what can these things run if not ultrix?  I have a couple of 5000
/200's and a 3100 awaiting rehab, and have been letting them gather dust
lacking any media or docs.  If it is possible to get a NetBSD or Linux
working on them perhaps they are worth the time to fool with.

And what are they comparable to in the Sun-3 and Sparc sequence? (or
680x0 sequence).
