While I was reading documents (user guide and software installation stuff) about Sun Ultra 40 Workstation, I find TPM mentioned in those docs.
Is TPM (Trusted Platform Module) present in Sun Ultra 40 Workstation?
Even 'Tools & Support' CD comes with specific driver for it, but I don't know how to get it worked under MS Windows OS.
So I am wondering if I even have TPM in my system.
Thanks.

Hi, Sangwook. I don't know whether you got a reply from anyone yet. I just recently got an Ultra 40. It definitely has a TPM (if you look at the ACPI table, there is an entry for TPM base address, 0xFED40000...so a driver can map the TPM's address space (I've done it on Solaris...I'm currently developing the OpenSolaris driver for TPM). However, the BIOS isn't configured to support TPM. In other words, if you are familiar with TPM specs and commands, TPM_INIT is not called by the BIOS. I don't know if there is a remedy for this or not, because it requires the BIOS be rewritten and I don't know if flashing the chip will do it let alone Sun supporting an updated BIOS that is "TPM-enabled". I heard the rumors that Ultra40 M2 has the support for TPM. However, I haven't tried it myself (I don't have one around) so I am not sure whether this is true.
