[rescue] Re: Sun Ultra5 emulation, was: more sun2 adventures!

[Mike Spooner]

That's right, excepting the PSU - to cater for 2nd and 3rd internal HDD,
more PCI slots, 440MHz CPU and especially the Creator3D and Elite3D
graphics cards. Those graphics cards didn't physically fit the U5 case,
and the other items were not officially supported in U5.

Unless I'm misremembering, the Ultra5 (not SPARCstation-5) and Ultra10
are the same machine in a different chassis.
