5/25/2023 0 Comments Install solaris on a pc![]() ![]() ![]() The official product manuals are still available and can be downloaded from Oracle here: I Googled for a while and found a link to an FTP site that had the SunPCI software… trouble is this was a couple of months ago, and I’ve since gone back to try and find the same site to include a link but I think the site has recently gone down… After I did a fresh Solaris 10 install, I needed to find the SunPCI software and drivers which didn’t come with Solaris 10. I recently picked up a Sun Ultra 60 and was lucky that it came with a SunPCI card. Rather than x86 emulation, this approach provided a real x86 CPU and everything you’d expect in a typical PC compatible machine, all on a single card. This was a self-contained x86 PC on a single card that could be installed in Sun Ultra machines, that along with supporting software allowed you to install any operating system that required x86 hardware and run it on your Sun SPARC machine alongside whatever you were natively running on SPARC, such as Solaris. The SunPCI single board computer is an interesting piece of hardware.
