Hi. The new version of tme, 0.4, can now emulate a Sun 3/150 system with an si SCSI host adapter and both the onboard bwtwo and a VME cgthree. NetBSD 1.6.x seems to run pretty well, with X also (two-headed, even). However, please remember that tme comes with no warranty. Don't trust it to do anything correctly. In particular, do not trust tme for floating-point work. The m68881 emulation is the least tested part of tme. Instructions on how to download, build, and use it (including some screenshots) are at: http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~fredette/tme/index.html The emulator was developed on a NetBSD/i386 1.5 machine, but I've also compiled and tested it a little on NetBSD/sparc 1.6, FreeBSD/i386 4.8, and SuSE Linux i386 8.2 (kernel 2.4.20). The code is still rough and the distribution isn't too user-friendly, but if you follow the instructions carefully, and have experience installing NetBSD on Sun 3 machines, you just might end up with an emulated Sun 3. -- Matt Fredette
