Thanks for the suggestion. I've created an Oracle account and I see that I can download the DVD image for Solaris 10 - however, this box only has a CD-ROM drive. Am I correct in assuming that Solaris 10 isn't available in CD ISO format? Can I just swap in a plain IDE DVD drive in place of the old CD drive?

Thanks for the suggestions - this box is pretty neat, and it would be fun to have it up and running again!
