Is that Tatung clone of Ultra 60?
Yes, it is. The fellow from whom I obtained these two (a hardware engineer at ATI/AMD) bought it to get the faster CPUs. Those were moved to the 60, and the slower ones to this Tatung. It is really a parts machine, which is pretty useful if you have to run old hardware.

how hard is to get reasonable priced Blade 1000 or even better Blade 1500 where you live?
No idea, but have a look on Craig's list in the SF Bay area. One can often find good deals there; sometimes things are overpriced.

Do you still see on the University auction sales in California Blade 100 and 150? Those are now very reasonable on Ebay but they are tiny bit better made than Ultra 10 which is really PC with Sparc processor.
I've not checked for a while. The Ultra 5 came from UC surplus; it has been fine.

Let me send you a PM with the details, but please give me a couple of days. I am in the midst of evaluating a ton of proposals for funding under the "stimulus" program, and the deadlines are looming.
