Weren't InstallShield some Winduhs behemoth?

But serves you right for going the ways of the dark Satan and installing modern hardware, you, you, modern hardware person.

UltraSparcIIi's should be enough for anyone.

$ sysctl hw
hw.machine = sparc
hw.model = Sun 4/65, MB86900/1A or L64801 @ 25 MHz, WTL3170/2 FPU

Oh look, a masochist!

On the contrary - this SS1+ works so well, why should I spend the effort of porting its apps?

If you're gonna run Sun4, SS20s are cheaper than dirt. I wouldn't bother with anything less than a uSparcII based SS5, personally.

I *heart* my pair of SS20s. Lovely stuff.

I have enough other Suns here (SS10,U1,U2), but, again, why should I bother? It costs me exactly zero hours of effort to leave it as it is, as compared to a couple if I wanted to move the software elsewhere.

I don't know...I'd think you'd get tired of waiting on a 1+. It's not like moving the disk to a 4m and updating the kernel would take more than a few minutes. I don't even bother to turn on my Indy at home anymore, and it's half a decade newer than your S1+.
