| By "newer sparcs" I presume you mean sun4u machines? (The stuff
| above is all sun4c... there are some "newer" sun4cs than the IPC and
| IPX, I think, but I'm not sure.)
|
| Ever played with serial on the sun4m machines? (NOT sparcs, but

I think that's a typo.
sun4m machines are sparc, not 68k.
sun2, sun3, sun3[exy] are 68k
sun4, sun4[ecmdu] are sparc.
all of the suns from the sun2 series up until the Ultra 5
use the same serial hardware, the ancient zilog 8530 chips.
the Ultra 5 and later use the siemens chip (which is not
yet supported by NetBSD).
