If you know someone who already has the hardware, you can ask them to run
the Sun Device Detection Tool:

It runs under other operating system (Windows, Linux, BSD) AFAIK, so a
re-install or reboot isn't necessary to see what it comes up with.


doesnt it require java and x11?

Yes, it requires Java 1.5+; a GUI is needed, but I don't think X11 is specifically required (X is the GUI on Unix-y systems of course). Java doesn't specifically need X, it simply uses whatever the OS has.

Looking at the page a bit more, you can run commands on the system and save the output to a file that can be processed by the tool on another system:

Apart from testing the current system on which Sun Device Detection Tool is invoked, you can also test the device data files that are generated from the external systems. To test the external device data files, print the PCI configuration of the external systems to a text file by using the following commands:

        • prtconf -pv on Solaris OS.
        • lspci -vv -n on Linux OS.
        • reg query hklm\system\currentcontrolset\enum\pci /s on Windows OS.
