The Force 1E was designed by Sun and licensed by Force. It is identical
to a SPARCstation 1 except for the VMEbus interface. The VMEbus interface
FPGA chip is not the same as an SS1 because it didn't have a VMEbus.
If you need VMEbus support for the 1E you will have to write a driver.
It will run NetBSD fine without VMEbus support.
