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.
Actually I was thinking of Sun's SM52, dual 50Mhz boards with I
believe 1MB cache.
Oh, THOSE...I thought they were only used in the SS1000? Or am I
getting them mixed up with another module?
They might have only been *sold* in the SS1000, but I've definitely
run them in the SS20. I suspect the configuration would probably be
called something similar to SS20/514.
They were for the SS10 and SS20, I'm not sure they'd even fit in the
SS1000. Each one filled a M-Bus slot, and the S-Bus slot directly
next to it.
