I ran into the same problem with a newer Sun model (Ultra 10.) I looked up the chip on ebay and almost ordered one, but wasn't in the mood for another project I'm going to lose interest in after a week. The drive was also incredibly loud on startup, so I'm concerned it may also be dead. (The last time I booted it was probably 2005, running Solaris 8!)
