I've got Sun PCI II pro running under Soalris 10 on an Ultra 80. I
needed to do a make a couple of links from file with a 9 to some with
10. Details can be found on the web.

Thanks for your reply Dave. It's good to know that the SunPCI IIpro
software works on Solaris 10.

I'd still be interested to know if a SunPCI III would work in an Ultra10

Regards,

Shaun

I tried putting mine in an Ultra 10 at first but couldn't
get it to work. (It was also a SunPCI III)

I ended up moving it to a newer system to use it.

It'll probably seem sluggish if it works since the SunPCi III will probably
be faster than the Ultra 10's CPU.
Even with a SunPCi IIpro I saw an improvement with the Windows 2000 just by
moving the card from an Ultra 10 to a Sun Blade 1000.
