Well, that could be difficult or not.
I have a ZIP drive that works with NetBSD ( on a HP9000/345 ) without
any driver, the kernel just finds a SCSI device with removable media. On
the other hand - Solaris doesn't like it a bit, the kernel freezes when
it sees a ZIP ( someone said that is could be a conflict with the SCSI
floppy driver ). The OpenBOOT has no problems - probe-scsi finds the
drive without any hazzle. 
So you may be lucky or not - I would give it a try but make sure you get
your money back when Solaris doesn't like it...
