Solaris 7 is the last release from Sun to support the sun4c architecture, 
no matter what the manuals say.  As for a copy of Solaris 7, your best bet
is to get a copy from a friend - or call sun and tell them you need a 
Sol7 "media replacement kit". 

(I used this trick to get Solaris 2.6 before they would "sell" it to me - I
called up a different department and ordered a 2.6 "emergency media replacement
kit" and had it in less than a week, while sunsales was still refusing to sell
me 2.6...)
