Subject: SunPCi discontinued?

We've got some Sun Blade 100s and 150s with SunPCi cards.  We're
looking to upgrade them to current Sun Sparc desktops and buy some
more.  Some nasty surprises: Sun seems to have abandoned the "pizza
box" form factor on the desktop, and more importantly, the latest
SunPCi card, the SunPCi IIIpro, does not list the current Sun Sparc
desktops (Ultra 25, Ultra 45) as being supported.

This is bad, because the SunPCi card is how we support both Solaris
and Windows apps without having to deal with KVMs or doing X11, VNC,
or RDP over the network.  Without the SunPCi, we'll have to make some
hard choices.  Said choices are unlikely to favor the vendor that
discontinued existing product concepts that we had been relying on.

Has Sun really dropped SunPCi support on modern hardware?  If so, how
are other SunPCi customers dealing?

[Responses will be summarized to list, unless you ask not to be
included.]
