Couple of months back I asked the question and received no useful responses,
only a couple of people rather "helpfully" pointing out that Sun don't make
laptops - yes, yes, but they manufacture the components that third parties
build Sparc-based laptops from. Anyhow, I stumbled on a company called Magma
(http://www.magma.com/), who make a number of clever things including one
blindingly brilliant box that fits the PC-bus slot and provides a number of
PCI slots at the other end. It's terrific - we've got one running a
dual-head at the moment, provided by a Raptor card inside. About to try a
specialist data capture card and a hardware raid card. Works with Solaris -
also Windows and Mac if that's your thang. I hope this is useful to others.
