For the Ultra 1 machines, this isn't quite right.  The Enterprise models
are the same as the Creator models, except that they shipped without a
video card.  Ultra 1 machines (no Enterprise or Creator) have 10MBit
ethernet, Fast SCSI-2, and 3 SBus slots.  The Creator/Enterprise models
have 10/100Mbit Ethernet, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, 2 SBus slots and 1 UPA slot,
for a creator graphics card.   

For what it's worth, on my Ultra 1 Creator running Solaris 8, uname -i
reports it as "SUNW,Ultra-1", even though it has FW SCSI and 100MBit
ethernet.
