On this page: http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/sata/SATA0.html I see: -USB,SATA,IEEE1394 SIIG, Inc. USB 2.0 + FireWire + SATA Combo (SC-UNS012) Verified (Solaris 10) Indicating that if I install an SC-UNS012 in a Solaris 10 Sparc server I would get a few USB 2 ports, a few IEEE1394 ports but more interestingly, a few SATA ports working under sparc. But that same page states: "Native SATA is not yet fully supported. There is no current support on SPARC-based systems. " Which is it? It works or it doesn''t? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is listed as verified for Sparc Solaris because the USB and FireWire ports will work on Sparc systems. -- Martin Winkelman - mw at sun.com - 303-272-3122 http://www.sun.com/solarisready/

I picked mine up for $68US including shipping and the SAS<->SATA breakout cable. Needless to say I haven''t looked at prices lately. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
