>Linux drops support for sun4c/sun4mI guess at least there's still OpenBSD. -

@abloo Also I just remembered, OpenBSD dropped support for them a few release cycles ago. I guess that just leaves NetBSD Haelwenn /ɛlwən/ :bzh: likes this. -

@allison @abloo And sparc64 dropped that? (tbh I would rather get an actual Lisp Machine, in a way I got my Ultra 10 stuck to a Forth machine) -

@lanodan @abloo They're some of the few commodity CPUs to actually have tagged arithmetic instructions (for supporting Lisp interpreters) -

@lanodan @abloo Re: Lisp Machines, I would just get the keyboard and interface it with a regular PC running VLM or Medley, actual Lisp Machines are dog slow and kind of unreliable in comparison Haelwenn /ɛlwən/ :bzh: likes this. -

@allison @abloo @lanodan It's marked as deprecated in v9 (sparc64), but AFAIK it's still not removedThough even if it's actually removed I guess you could run the CPUs in v8/32-bit mode to get the instructions back :02lurk:

@lanodan @abloo Yes, sparc64 dropped those instructions because the only major program using them was Lucid CL -

@bcallah Wouldn't doubt it, I can't actually remember a time they sidelined a port aside from maybe acorn26 Haelwenn /ɛlwən/ :bzh: likes this. -

@allison The OpenBSD/sparc port was discontinued after the 5.9 release.
