Finally, any
clue as to whether the Apple SCSI CDROM I got will work in
the Ultra? It's a 1993 vintage drive, an "AppleCD 300 Plus". If not, I
do have a SCSI drive that'll do both 512 and 2048 block sizes, but it's
in a running machine at the moment...
Ok, with solaris 7 and newer it -should- be able to boot. Ultras are still
supported in solaris 8 IIRC and you can get it free from sun (download ISO
images and burn them)
Are you talking about the OS ignoring the whole 512-byte issue, or what? I
don't know what the minimum supported OS for an Ultra 1 is, but I know that
it should be prior to 2.5.1 (I know 2.5.1 will run on an Ultra 10).
