if you're working with the sparc 5, which i believe is a microsparc model,
let me know and i can provide the microsparc side of a port of the old system to the Lx/Classic
(which was microsparc-based).  you'll need to answer The Questions.

the microsparc implementations differ in various ways from the Sparc used in the ss and ss10 ports
and thus the lx/classic port might provide a more appropriate base for the sparc 5.
no doubt in practice it is the usual hybrid.
