[rescue] Sun Ultra5 emulation, was: more sun2 adventures!

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: Jonathan Katz <jon at jonworld.com>

" QEMU will emulate a sparc and you can run the SSP software on anything,
" even Sparc 5s or 20s.

i conjecture the only limit would be minimum solaris ver, if there is
one.

" When I was a wee lad we were told that the E10Ks just used JTAG and then it
" was JTAG encapsulated over TCP/IP once the Controllers in the E10K booted
" far enough and saw the SSPs.

the std setup is with a dedicated ethernet linking the ssp to the big
iron.  does it have to be dedicated?  and can the ssp box front-end
for more than one e10k/e25k [at a time], or are things like link ip
nailed?

not that i'm ever likely to be faced with the real-life challenge,
just idle curiosity.
