for what's it worth, I'm still owning:

wehrle:~> uname -a

wehrle:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo

and

sed:~> uname -a

sed:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0

machine         : PReP Utah (Powerstack II Pro4000)
l2 cache        : 512KiB, parity disabled SRAM:synchronous, pipelined, no parity

Especially the 43p-140 is quite easy to get via ebay, the Powerstack II
is a more rare machine nowadays, I think.

HTH,
Uli
