Hi
Haven''t been following this thread so I might be off topic ..

I think this should be 8/07 ( Solaris 10 update 4 )
If so then it''s on the download site ( or should be ) and works for 
SPARC/x86 ( same as any Solaris 10 release )

What writeup are you looking at?

ok my mistake, getting confused by release numbers, 9.07 was what 
Richard meant.

No, my mistake... when you get old, you begin to lose track of dates...
Solaris 10 would be 8/07 (aka update 4).  Solaris Express is probably not
what you want for a production system.  Now, when was my anniversary
again? :-)
