Media for Solaris 7, 2.6, and earlier show ups on eBay every so often.  For 
Solaris 7 you need to be aware that there are both Desktop and Server editions, 
plus versions for SPARC and x86 architectures.  Also, I found that normal CDROM 
drives can't be used to boot the installation disk, at least for the SPARC 
versions.  Back when I was experimenting, I found that Apple SCSI CDROM drives 
did the job.

Solaris 8 on up was generally more friendly with PC hardware - the UltraSPARC 
workstations used the PCI bus and IDE controllers.
