Subject: [9fans] big endian plan 9 machine?

as it turns out there are a lot of crazy little bugs in the system
due to running for so long on 32-bit machines.  i'm sure that
we're in a similar situation with endianness, but perhaps even
worse.

to keep everybody honest, i'd like to dig up some sort of plausable
big-endian machine.  since the point here is to swat bugs, not
write a new kernel, i would be especially nice if a kernel already
existed.  another big bonus would be hardware that still exists and
doesn't require a soldering iron to keep running.  :-)
