I know that I can do that with SunOS 4.x, however I'm running SunOS 5.6 (aka
Solaris 2.6), so the problem is a more difficult one to solve. I know
someone here in Sydney that has done it, but I can't for the life of me find
where I saved her email about how to do it!

The FEH says that SM-81's are only certified for the SC-1000, and SM-81-2's
are only certified for the SC-2000.
