What is an SM91? I've not heard of that one! Based on the info I just pulled up, and the SM71's and SM81's, I'm assuming that it's a 95Mhz SuperSparc II CPU. Now there is a card to make me jealous! Though I don't think I'd want to try and keep a dual SS20 with those in it!

That one just makes me slightly green. I find a 4-Port Quad more useful, and am actually using one of the Combo cards simply as a Narrow SCSI interface.

Putting together a SS1000 with 8 SM81's would make an interesting desktop to play with, unfortunately I don't really have room for one (and yes, I do know they really aren't that big, I'm that short on space).
