I recently purchased via E-bay a 170MHz SPARCstation 5 box to replace my
tortoise like 85MHz superparc-based SPARCstation 5.  Considering I won the
auction at the low price of $16.49, I was very happy to find all three sbus
slots populated (not to mention a floppy drive, CDROM, two RAM chips, and a
single HDD).  

One sbus slot contained a framebuffer I have not yet identified (main chip
is marked LSI, L1A9765 ICFAA, FCC ID is GWVTGX1m), the second contained a
Happy Meal Ethernet card (wohoo! 100baseT), and the final is a SunPC card.

From the information I've found so far via google, it appears that this card
was used under Solaris to provide Windows compatibility.  I did find a few
threads in some NetBSD archives where people had asked about support of the
card, but didn't find anywhere that indicated if anyone had taken enough of
an interest to actually do anything with it.

Has anyone toyed around with adding kernel support for this beast?  If so,
I'd love to hear about what success you may have had.  I have no particular
use in mind for this at all, I'm just curious if anyone has played with it.
