The SunPCI card being PCI will not work in the U1 (unless you have one of those
rare PCI U1's) or in the U2.

You would need a U5, U10, U30 AXi, etc. to use the board.

There is a series of SunPC boards that will work in the SS5, they range from
486sx to 5x133 and ar limited to Win 3.1 or early versions of Win 95. Another
listonian has hacked Win 95 B to work on the Sun PC board.
