Hi,

I found a website containing 190 Gb of old Solaris patches... I rummaged a little bit through this website and the files have dates from the early 90s up to 2006, and it seem to be patches for Solaris 2.5.1 up to 9... In any case it seem worthwhile to me to spend a few dozens of dollars on BD-R discs and archive all this (if you have an unlimited internet connection)...

Have a nice day
