">PS: Is the Sun 3/50 VME-based??
I _think_ that's a 68k based pizza box. Check
http://www.sunhelp.org for
pointers to info on the various models.

No, neither is is 3/60
The 3/110, 3/150 or 4/110's were in four slot VME chassis. Most of the
rest were in either rack mounted 12 slot desk or rack mount chassis.
I'm rather fond of the 12 slot rack mount chassis, myself. Easy to
work on, with a big power supply. There was also a 7 slot desk side
chassis.
Better look again. Both the 3/50 and 3/60 are Pizza Boxes. The 3/75 is
apparently a 2 VME Slot Pizza Box, now that sounds wierd!

I suspect what he really wants is the following, and these do show up from
time to time on USENET:
SPARCserver 6xxMP/xx
Processor(s): Mbus modules
CPU: 501-1686/2055
Chassis type: rackmount
Bus: VME; SBus @ 20MHz; and Mbus
Memory: 640M physical
Architecture: sun4m
Notes: First Mbus-based machine. Cypress/ROSS Mbus
modules later upgraded to TI SuperSPARC modules
(/xx models). Code name "Galaxy". Up to four
CPUs. 4M or 16M x 9 80ns 30-pin SIMMs.
Not sure how many VMS slots, but they're a nice system, I've use a highly
modified one stuffed into a pair of 19" racks (complete with 2 big monitors
and keyboards).
Or just get an Auspex Fileserver, they're still selling servers with VME
backplanes. Of course you don't want to know what they cost ;^)
