Sparc on Wikipedia.

Quote
As a result of SPARC International, the SPARC architecture is fully open and non-proprietary.

Implementations of the SPARC architecture were initially designed and used for Sun's Sun-4 workstation and server systems, replacing their earlier Sun-3 systems based on the Motorola 68000 family of processors.


Is there any chance of the sparc (any version of it) running Amiga OS as well???

Would be an easy job (I've gotten parts of AROS running w/o any real programming skill) especially if one were to use the migration toolchain Sun developed back when they introduced the Sun-4, especially as the Amiga's OS was built on the Sun-3 to begin with!


Cool it would be insane running amiga os on a sun platform, however... expensive...
