I second Matt's comment -- I tried both the Ultra66 one (pulled
from a desktop machine running RedHat which didn't support it at
the time), and a Ultra100 or 133 one which I picked from from a
swap and both made my Ultra 5 very panic-prone.  The Sil680 that
is in the V100 now was Matt's suggestion after he'd gone through
the same pain ;)
