[rescue] Solaris 8 SPARC

[Stephen Conley]

There is also the SunPCi and SunPCi 2 cards for PCi based systems.  The PCi 2 was actually a somewhat competent PC on a board and has the distinction of being the only thing I ever purchased new, direct from Sun, back in the day.  I used to fantasize about running a bunch of them in a pseudo-blade server but never did it.

Sadly, I long ago gave mine away, but that's what you could search ebay, etc. for if you wanted!  I've seen the drivers for it posted on the list before.

My current Sun collection (which I saved from a skip) are the later models. Ultra 30, Sunblade 2000, Sunblade 1000 and 2 newer SunBlade 1500. I did also save a Silicon Octans workstation as well
