The prices on those boxes are unfortunately from completely different space so I'm afraid nobody from OpenBSD devs/users ever seen such machine nor was able to even boot OpenBSD on it. Pity, as SPARC64 was really nice. The crush of SPARC64 is written on wall, see a load of really cheap M4000 boxes on Ebay. I've even started to see very cheap M3000 which was not usual at all during few last years as they were the only possible engineering "workstation" for last years. Sigh. Anyway, as others pointed out, ARM is the way to go for non-Intel/AMD hardware and in the future perhaps ARM64...
