Oh, THOSE...I thought they were only used in the SS1000? Or am I
getting them mixed up with another module?
The SM100 really is a piece of garbage, though. Sun knew
(according to a former Sun employee) that they should never have sold
them, but being able to say "we have a quad-processor machine" was
worth quite a bit to them at the time.

I've been nice and stable with a pair of
SM71's. What I think
would be cool to try is a pair of the dual CPU boards for a quad
CPU system (I think they were 50Mhz). I ran my SS20 like this
for quite some time before I upgraded to an UltraSparc based system.
Those would be SM100s. Made by Ross, Cypress chipset, 40MHz, no
L2 cache, and ungodly slow. A system with two SM51s will run
rings around a system with two SM100s.
