[rescue] Help id'ing SunPCi revisions

[Brock Johnson]

You can figure out which card you have based on the memory on it. The 
original SunPCI's used PC66 SDRAM in the standard 168 pin form. The 
later cards all use SODIMM sticks. SunPCI-II/IIPro use SDRAM, the 
III/IIIPro use DDR.

For the original cards I know you're stuck with the 1.3 version driver, 
I've never had a II/III card to play with so I can't speak for them.
