We'd be interested in trying Mach on a Sun.  However last time we
looked into it, we found that NFS was not supported, and that the
external file system hooks weren't done yet, so even if we implemented
NFS ourselves we would probably just have to replace it shortly.  In
order to be able to use it on a Sun, we're going to need support for
NFS and for normal Sun software, including Suntools, NeWS, and X.  I'm
willing to do some work, but don't have a lot of time to spend on the
project.  I'd appreciate hearing when the Sun version has gotten to a
point where we should look at it again.
