Not UltraSparc II but UltraSparc II (not IIe, IIi) is it still of 
interest or are these subrevision not of interest?

Sun Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (2 X UltraSPARC-II 296MHz), No Keyboard

I didn't even remember I bought as second CPU board for that... and then 
essentially never used it much! Time to dust it up! It was already 
de-solarized with the CPU upgrade and is running an old NetBSD version. 
I'll upgrade it first.

I Indeed have an original Ultra 1! It has a non-booting Solaris 7 - 
perhaps one of the two disk is busted. It will get Linux!
Sun Ultra 1 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC 167MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.35, 576 MB memory installed, Serial #8906394.

More interesting? Both?

Off-topic: Ultra2 has invalid NVRAMs... I just set the date and it 
worked, MAC address not lost yet.
In the past, I was able to source the chips and replace them, or I went 
the hard route to dissect them and attach a new battery to them. How is 
the situation now? can those chips still be sourced "new" at a decent 
price or are they NOS with dead batteries? super-expensive? alternatives?
I also got once Dallas chips, they were not working, not really 
incompatible.
