Sun PCI 1.x installation media? - roach-commuter - 02-11-2021

I've just acquired a SUNPCI card that I'd like to install in one of my SUN workstations supporting PCI but It came with no media. Does anyone know where to find such cds these days ?

It's not my site.  The link was posted to one of the Sun mailing lists a couple of years ago (by that site's owner).  Versions 1.3, 2, and 3 are all there along with some other relevant stuff.

Thank you again.
Update: I was able to install the Sunpci1.0 card using the Sunpci 1.3 software from that link. I also replaced the stock AMD K6-II 300 Mhz cpu with a 400 Mhz one. I couldn't find any documentation on how to do it but it turns out it's enough to pull 2 jumpers from the JP4 group. Namely 3-4 and 5-6 and only leave a jumper on 1-2 and that's it.

Neat. Thanks for the update! There's something fascinating about seeing a complete Windows desktop in a window on another OS.
