I know there's a downloader in the patch 116464-02, but what I've

that I just put in my Sun Blade 2000; and (if it's
possible without trashing the drive), I'd prefer to put the Sun firmware
on it. However, the downloader AFAIK will only download to drives
with the expected inquiry data (matching model and such); if the
firmware on the drive identifies it otherwise, in this case as
Vendor: NETAPP
Product: X235_HJURD073F10
Revision: NA06
it will (sensibly enough) leave it alone.
Is either (a) the source for the download program in that patch available
somewhere,
Nope - these things tend to be manufacturer-specific and held tightly.

Not as such, no. There have been requests for such a thing in the past
but I don't think they've been accepted - for a variety of reasons.
and does anyone know whether the firmware upgrade I have
in mind would work?
Unlikely - there's no guarantee that the drive vendor hasn't done
something funky to enable the NetApp vid/pid/rev, let alone anything
else that NetApp as the VAR might want implemented.
