I've got an SBUS FDDI interface, and an SBUS serial card.
Does anyone with too much spare time want to have them to write drivers?
Somebody I work with has his eyes on the FDDI card. I can't remember what
it identified itself as, but there can't be very many SBUS FDDI cards!
The serial card is more interesting. It's a "SUNW,spif", according to
OpenBoot, and is rumoured to have eight serial interfaces on it. Looking
at the card, there's a Cirrus Logic chip and lots of what look like line
driver chips leading to a Socket With Billions of Pins.
If anyone promises to write a driver, I'll gladly give them either card
for the good of NetBSD's driver support - without drivers, they're no use
to me, and they came "for free" in some IPXes I bought :-)
