[rescue] SS1000E Solaris support?

[Thomas Pelki]

Hi Dave and everybody,

thanks much, a friend of mine has an SS1000e that soon will be mine (once
I'm moved)  that he mentioned had OLD OBP's so figured I would ask.

the other one is the SC2000/2000e, on the hunt for the 2.31 eproms for it.
and the SS5/170, on the hunt for 2.29 for it BUT it's in a PLCC socket so
that one will be harder without the adapter.

-Thomas
