I have a lot of Sparc Classic. Is it V7? It is enough interesting to build a fast “Classic” with external framebuffer, 128M of ram and scsi2sd… Also, we have a lot of different SunRays (old ones - 1, 1g, 100), but I could not to netboot netbsd on this machines.

sun4 and sun4c are all v7; sun4m and newer 32 bits (sun4d, maybe others?) are almost all v8 - the SM100 module is the sole exception that I know of.
wikipedia has a list of SPARC with the architecture (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC>).
v7/post-v7 can be tested by trying to use a hardware multiplication instruction; if it causes an illegal instruction error, it's v7 (... unless the OS traps and emulates it but I don't think NetBSD or any Sun OSes do that), otherwise it's v8 or newer.

SuperSPARC II in a SM71, so v8
HyperSPARC (an HS21 ? or some Ross module), so also v8.
Cordially,
