It is pretty much.

Are you Solaris 9 discs also in storage?

Despite the many references to Solaris 7 and 8, Solaris 9 will also run
on those machines, and I personally think that Solaris 9 is a superior
choice (an opinion that I know some don't agree with).

Solaris 9 ISOs shouldn't be too hard to come across, but it would be
difficult for me to supply them.
