They work but you don't want to use them.  You _really_ don't want to use
them.

The early ones were only designed to run in AMP mode, and only a single
CPU will be supported in Solaris.  Later ones will let you run SMP, but
support stops at Solaris 2.5.1.  All of them are extremely slow even when
compared with "practically free" SM30's and SM40's.
