I am no OBP expert. I read somewhere on the net that Sun and Apple use
different hooks to detect a OBP PROM on PCI cards, so Mac OBP cards are
not detected in Suns and vice versa.

My recommendation is to get a NCR / Symbios / LSI SCSI card from ePay.
You can get UW / U2W Symbios cards for less then 10,- EUR / US$ 10 and
they Just Work (C) (R) (TM) on PCI Sparcs. See esiop(4).
