    My understanding was the SunPCI II pro was not supported, but I can't
    find a document which gives a list of supported hardware for Solaris 10
    on SPARC. I find it hard to belive Sun have not produced one, but I
    can't find it.

    Of course 'supported' and 'it works' are often two very different
    things. I'm aware the Creator3D framebuffer is not supported in the
    Ultra 80 (I only realised this a year or so after I bought one). But it
    has worked fine for me. Caspar *** said there are some rare issues with
    the U80/Creator3D combination (I'm not quoting his exact words), but for
    me it is OK.

    Likewise mixing CPU speed in SPARC 20's is not supported, but many have
    done it.
