In that case, no.

Was that for a mainstream Ultra machine or one of the OEM systems?  I 
think the answer might actually be different for the OEM reference 
boards.  But none of the mainstream Ultra boxes require a prom upgrade 
for larger IDE disks (Ultra 5,
Ultra 10, Sun Blade 100).

Feel free to scan the README file for the Ultra 5/10 PROM Upgrade patch 
and look through the list of fixed bugs.  Let us know if any apply to 
larger hard drives.
