I think that the Creator3D is a UPA card, meaning that it goes into the
special UPA slot on the motherboard.  I think that you can only put 1 UPA FB
in an Ultra2, since they have only 1 "slave-only" UPA slot.  The other UPA
slot is for the processor?  My SHR is too far away to look at, but I'm
pretty sure about that.  Anyway, I don't think it's possible to do that,
unless maybe you've got an UE2?  Actually, there should be docs available
for the Ultra2 on www.sun.com, so check out the hardware manual there.
