Is it wiser to move to something else? (I need 8 for Jaluna

I have a friend who admins Sun servers for a living, and he swears on
v8 as the pinnacle of Sun development. v8 should run just fine on the
U10 if you have >256MB of RAM.
To sort of converge threads, I have a pair of QIC 1/4" tapes for an
Opus board. They're either for a Solaris host or for a SPARC Opus
board. I've never tried to read them, but they're the original Opus
setup tapes. If anyone thinks they'd be useful, hit me off-list.

Solaris 9 is the last version to run on all
64-bit Ultras; Solaris 10
is very impressive from a networking and virtualization standpoint
(plus ZFS kicks some serious ass) and is what you should be running
if at all possible.
So where's your line between 9 and 10? I just moved from a U1 200E to
a U10 333, and I stuck with
5.9 because I was concerned about usability on the U10.
