Getting the binaries for Solaris was difficult, but I think
I have the demo version of Q2 now. I'll try in a few days.

On the other hand the machines you list are much more
powerful than this old Ultra2.
The U2 has two 200MHz CPU. The 200MHz UltraSPARC I is
comparable to a 195MHz R10K, a bit slower for int,
but a bit stronger for fp.
