Re: Oracle for Solaris 2.7

I have been trying to find Oracle 8i for Solaris 7 X86 but cannot find it. I have found nothing on any of Oracle's web sites that says this is a supported OS for 8i - technet included. Where did you get this version? Do you have a link to an Oracle site with product info and costs?
