    The SUNWspci3 works ONLY with the SunPCi III/IIIpro !

    Accordingly the SunPCi II/IIpro works ONLY with the package SUNWspci2
    (version 2.3.2). A small hack is required, because there are no drivers
    for Solaris 10 included.
    Instead of refering to the Sun Hardware Support Forum with numerours
    posts on this topic, this a link to a brief description (found by a
    google search)

    http://blog.ekholm.org/2005/02/04/solaris-10-sunpci-ii-tricks/

    I'm pretty sure that there will be Solaris 10 support for the SunPCi
    III, because the current shipping board (SunPCi IIIpro) uses only a
    faster cpu than the SunPCi III.
