I think so.

2.22 or higher.

They do run hot (like the SM-71's), but are not recommended because the
SS-10 and SS-20 cases don't have enough airflow capacity in anything other
than a well-cooled environment to run SM-81's (especially in pairs)
reliably.

I'm not sure if Sun endorses the use of SM-81's in Sparc 10's and 20's...
Some say they do, some say they don't.

Definitely.
