Mostly true.  Different machines provide differing amounts of power.

In particular, the UltraSparc based machines do not source as much
power as older machines, and cannot use some of the older generation
sbus cards.  In particular, the Ultra machines cannot drive the
original GX cards, nor the multi-slot video cards.

For this particular application, I think they should "just work".
