[rescue] SS1000E Solaris support?

[Patrick Giagnocavo]

Hi Dave,

I think given the newsgroups being mostly-gone (some of it on Google but not all) and many other resources having dropped off, you will probably end up testing the text mode installer of Solaris 9 and hitting the "Stop-A" key during the installer if it bombs out to determine if it can be patched :)

Cheers,

Patrick

   Yup, I found that too.  But I'm looking for what will actually run, 
not what is "supported".  Lots of things run that aren't supported...Did 
they actually remove the SS1000 support after version 8?
