Seconded - I'd sort of think of it as a PC ISA SCSI card kind of price
with some sort of factor for it being VME. Although if you look at some
of the Sun reseller websites, the prices for VME stuff are *really*
crazy. I can't imagine there are that many VME-based Sun machines still
doing real work out there, but the prices would suggest otherwise.
FWIW, I had lots of luck with posting to uk.comp.sys.sun when I was
looking for a 4/330 (VME) CPU board. Not the right group in your case,
but posting to comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.sys.sun.wanted might be a
good plan. At least on the UK group there seemed to be a lot of lurkers
even though there weren't that many active posters.

Though, I'm a bit worried about time... I
want it for a machine I'm
going to be exhibiting at VCF/Midwest and that's only 2 weeks away
now... shipping to/from Canada might take too long, and I don't have
that much to spend on getting this working.

Before anyone else wastes their time, Mr Finnegan is willing to
pay FIFTEEN whole American Dollars for the board.
And $15 is what I'd consider at the high end of what such a board is
worth...
