Well, after some finagling, I have 1 old segate 480meg drive in the machine,
and only 40megs of Ram.

I thought that the SS2 was supposed to be better than the IP? machines, plus
obviously the 1 and 1+.  Till now, no sparc I ever used had a load above 1
for more than an instant or 2.  Most of my sparc experience has been on 5s,
a 10 and a 330.
