Preface

The Solaris Handbook for Sun Peripherals has traditionally covered information about installing and configuring peripherals on systems running the Solaris trademark operating environment. Such peripherals include DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives, disk drives, tape drives, and option cards or boards. This information is now covered more completely and currently in a few basic Solaris documents. This book now informs you about where to find the most up-to-date information on peripherals, as well as outlining some information you might not find elsewhere.
