Of course what I drool over are the dual 50Mhz M-Bus
modules
I've got an SS10 running an SM52 (501-2780 IIRC) that's been
doing yeoman service for the past eight years at least, 24x7
by 365. (It lost *both* disks just two months ago, so I feel
relatively safe tepting fate like this ;^)
I've got another SM52, but this 501-2444 doesn't play nice
with the other SM52 and may in fact not work properly at
all. Never got back to checking it out...
I'm still tickled at having a pair of SM91's - I'd never
seen any 'til these showed up on eBay. Got a late PROM for
my SS20 and brought 'em up, but it kept crashing when I
wasn't paying attention, so they're waiting for more round
tuit's to accumulate.
I'm always interested in SBus stuff, even if only
to
turn green at cards others have :)
Don't know if turning funny colors is called for, but my
favorites are the SWIFT combo cards - hme 100baseT and a
"fast" wide SCSI interface.
Oddest one I've got is a Parsytec BBK-S4 Adapter - lets an
SBus system talk to Transputers. Of which I have none, but
I guess it's good to Be Prepared... Has a T222 'puter on
it, but there's no software in sight.
I suddenly doubled the number of SBus cards I own when I
was picking up SS1000 system boards. I've got hold of 8
SM81's to load up an SS1000, and three of the later "E"
system boards, and am hoping that it'll all work with a
non-"E" enclosure/backplane. That thing's heavy, I don't
relish having to swap it to make that happen...
If anyone's sitting on a CompuPro NS16032 board & docs
and wants a bunch of SBus or Qbus stuff, let me know.

I have the software for the BBK-S4 plus the manual.
Its on my website at http://www.classiccmp.org/transputer under
specifications.
I also have one, but I am looking for the cables. I have the 8-pin cables,
but no 6-pin
which connects to the card. Its currently connected to my Ultra-2 along
with a PCMCIA
Sbus card which houses a SMT104 PCMCIA transputer card, Svideo card, and the
Creator 3D
Series 3 UPA card...
Cheers,
Ram

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).
