Thanks to all the people who send in their recommendations. Here in an
update on the choices for RAM and PART providers:

We know that the older SPARC systems are no longer been produced
(Discontinued Dec 1998) by SUN. We have concluded the following places to
buy RAM for older model SPARC workstations:

www.kingston.com) its $142 for 32Mb
www.DataRam.com
www.securitycomputer.com for all kinds of hardware replacements on SPARC
systems.
www.ottersun.com
www.crucial.com, they have 32MB simms for the sparcy for $125 each.
http://www.sunhelp.org for more SUN third party sellers
www.PartnersData.com
http://www.memoryx.com
http://www.memoryx.net/sparc5.html
http://www.memoryx.net/ss532.html
DATARAM Tech

Clarification: Otto, Doug recommends against Viking RAM not Kinston RAM.

SCSI CARDS for ULTRA5/10 PCI:
Symbios UW SCSI controller (Numero Uno SCSI Card Choice!)
Antares SCSI cards (Second SCSI Card Choice)
Adaptech "No supported after Solaris 2.6, performace problems under Heavy
I/O" (Last Choice)

Thanks to all who replied.
