- Every SPARCstation 10 in the universe will probably say *that* (unless
- Sun uses Pinnacle or M-1, or some other SPARC chip, in the future, on
- SS10s). A Viking^H^H^H^H^H^HSuperSPARC processor is a Texas Instruments
- TMS390Z50, and a SuperSPARC cache controller chip is a TI TMS390Z55.
-
- Unless you can find something on the board that indicates the clock rate
- of the *processor* - the clock rate of the Mbus may, or may not, reflect
- the clock rate of the processor - you may be out of luck.
-
- A microSPARC is a TMS390S10, as I remember....
