Hi,

This message is a result from reading
https://www.devuan.org/os/community and the section "How You Can Help
Devuan" where there is a link to
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=589 which has a bullet "Donate
PowerPC/Sparc hardware for build/development" that says "contact devs on
#devuan-dev".
I wonder if the below hardware is of any interest for Devuan?

I have two Sparcs from 90's with possible bad NVRAM battery.
They worked perfectly last time I had them powered on but now I had to
go through
https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/how-to-workaround-when-your-sun-ultra-5-10-nvram-no-longer-works.52997/
in order to boot.
Not sure yet if that charged the NVRAM battery or if the above will have
to be performed repeatedly until replacement.

Specs are:
Sun Sparcserver S10 Model 144 40.3Mhz SuperSparc / SuperCache 128Mb RAM
from 1992 runing SunOS 5.5. It comes with external disk cabinet called
Sun Mass storage model 1048. It has tape / cd / disks.
Sun Sparc Ultra 1 167Mhz 128Mb RAM from 1995. SunOS 5.5.1.
