Greetings,

	Yes it is, as I have one in my SS10 right now:
SUNW,DBRIe at sbus0 slot 15 offset 0x8010000 not configured
cgsix0 at sbus0 slot 2 offset 0x0: SUNW,501-2325, 1152 x 900, rev 11 (console)
cgsix0: attached to /dev/fb             ^^^^^^^^
	Other than the TGX+, which supports double-buffering, this is the
fastest 8-bit Sun framebuffer you can find.  I would love to know when (if) 
work will begin on supporting the device mentioned in the line above, the 
DBRI audio/ISDN codec (hint hint) :-) (a more realistic question is whether
Sun is willing to supply developers with the specifications).

Cheers,
Daniel
