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.
Next time, just SAY how much you're willing to spend before I
waste my time looking for one.

And $15 is what I'd consider at the high end of what such a board is
worth...

I apollogise that I didn't state an exact amount, but I guess different
people have different ideas was "don't want to spend an insane amount
for a SCSI card" means. :(

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.

New subject: VME SCSI (would sun3 vme scsi work?)
the older sun 3 and early 4's such as the 4/260 and 4/280 should have
a vme scsi board in it that would be worth about that much.
more specific ones may be more valuable, but this would fill the bill
as a "scsi" board for vme with fairly common drivers (sun bsd
versions exist which should have drivers.
i had some of these, but sold them some time ago.

And this, more common, board is what I'm looking for. :)
