Thanks for the link!

Same here. The funny thing is that the contract tied to the SOA I'm 
working with actually is for a Sun T5140, according to the paperwork. 
It's only a basic support contract, though, and I guess to get 
"HardwareUpdates" you will need an actual hardware support contract - 
and I've heard that it may cost like 20% of the price of the machine, 
per year.

I assume that one contract with the necessary entitlement will 
technically - but not legally - allow you to download all firmware patches.

Please let us know as soon as you get more information.
