Where can I get Sun Ultra 20 tools & drivers when Oracle abandoned them?
I'm in a desperate pursuit for Tools and Drivers CD for the six of my Ultra 20 M2 workstations - some of them have latest BIOS, some of them don't.
Oracle doesn't support them anymore - I even bought myself a CSI to get to support, but still no luck - and it seems the ISOs are nowhere to be found outside Oracle's web as well, which confuses me a little, but then again, Oracle has no need for supporting obsolete Sun hardware.
If there's no chance of getting the ISOs, is there a way how to dump the BIOS from one workstation and flash it to another? Other than that I've no other ideas how to upgrade the BIOS of the older machines... I'm open to any ideas you might have, thanks in advance for anything that could help me (other than getting rid of those wonderful machines, of course).

I have just acquired an Ultra 5. It has 256MB of memory and a 360Mhz Ultra IIi SPARC processor. So far, I have had some typical fun and games to get it working:

jifty::dbi::handle::oracle
Jifty::DBI::Handle::Oracle(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Jifty::DBI::Handle::Oracle(3pm)
NAME
Jifty::DBI::Handle::Oracle - An oracle specific Handle object
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a subclass of Jifty::DBI::Handle that compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of Oracle.
METHODS
connect PARAMHASH: Driver, Database, Host, User, Password
Takes a paramhash and connects to your DBI datasource.
database_version
Returns value of ORA_OCI constant, see "Constants" in DBD::Oracle.
insert
Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted.
build_dsn PARAMHASH
Takes a bunch of parameters:
Required: Driver, Database or Host/SID, Optional: Port and RequireSSL
Builds a dsn suitable for an Oracle DBI connection
blob_params column_NAME column_type
Returns a hash ref for the bind_param call to identify BLOB types used by the current database for a particular column type. The current
Oracle implementation only supports ORA_CLOB types(112).
apply_limits STATEMENTREF ROWS_PER_PAGE FIRST_ROW
takes an SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return ROWS_PER_PAGE starting with FIRST_ROW;
distinct_query STATEMENTREF
takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result set.
