Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 on CDROM?

Not without at least a Sun support contract, EBay is your best bet.

An Ultra-3 mobile has 550MHz or 650MHz processor, ok.
An Ultra-30 has a 250MHz or 300MHz processor, not up to the job.
Cannot find mention of an Ultra-3D?

I assumed that was a typo, there was indeed never a Ultra-3D. A 250 Mhz CPU can run an X server with no particular problem. A 50 Mhz SS10 did it flawlessly some time ago. The U30 graphic card support might however be an issue with Milax.
Finding a Solaris 8 media seems to be the most reasonable approach.

Hello,
Thanks for the replys!

A friend said that it is a Ultra Sparc III but (I see it now) it's is maybe an Sparc Ultra III. (I feel me so stupid...... Smilie)
I maked a picture of the front from my computer.

If it is unpossible to get Solaris worked on my system, is it possible to run a another operating system???

this is a "ultra 10" and with some more RAM solaris 10 should run nicely...

Solaris 8 to 10 are the most suitable OS to run but you might try several Gnu/Linux distributions including Debian
PortsSparc - Debian Wiki and Ubuntu. Alternatively, your hardware is also supported by OpenBSD: OpenBSD/sparc64

Thanks for your replay!

Maybe it's a stupid question, but, have I a 64 bit pc?
