Lol I have a clone Ultra 2 based on the PCI version of the Ultra-2
SparcEngine system board and the fans in that machine are like turbo-charged
vacuum cleaners!

I'm going to change all the fans for slower, but more efficient ones and
quiten the machine down.

Also, getting back to the subject of this thread, I'm trying out various
generic PCI USB and firewire cards in my machines at the moment. I'll be
putting one generic PCI USB and one generic PCI fireware card into the Ultra
2 clone machine later today to see what Sun's drivers think. I don't know if
the USB card will do anything, but I have a firewire card in this machine
(Ultra 60) and the drivers picked it up on a re-config boot without any
hassles. 

I don't yet have a digital camera with firewire though so I'm not able to
try and get any data transfer over the firewire ports happening at the
moment...

Regards,

Craig.
