Maybe for the U60 this thread started out talking about (the U60 does
appear to be a PCI machine).
But, in general? I suspect not. Lots of Suns have internal SCA bays
and nothing but SBus for addon cards. (I would love to be wrong about
this; if SBus SATA cards _are_ plentiful and cheap, I would be
delighted.)
