Better look again. Both the 3/50 and 3/60 are Pizza Boxes. The 3/75 is
apparently a 2 VME Slot Pizza Box, now that sounds wierd!

See http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/sunref1.html

I suspect what he really wants is the following, and these do show up from
time to time on USENET:

    SPARCserver 6xxMP/xx
        Processor(s): Mbus modules
        CPU: 501-1686/2055
        Chassis type: rackmount
        Bus: VME; SBus _at_ 20MHz; and Mbus
        Memory: 640M physical
        Architecture: sun4m
        Notes: First Mbus-based machine. Cypress/ROSS Mbus
                        modules later upgraded to TI SuperSPARC modules
                        (/xx models). Code name "Galaxy". Up to four
                        CPUs. 4M or 16M x 9 80ns 30-pin SIMMs.

Not sure how many VMS slots, but they're a nice system, I've use a highly
modified one stuffed into a pair of 19" racks (complete with 2 big monitors
and keyboards).

Or just get an Auspex Fileserver, they're still selling servers with VME
backplanes. Of course you don't want to know what they cost ;^)
